The Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force has established strong relationships with many local, state, federal, Oklahoma State and Local, and Tribal Police agencies. The task force is often contacted by the agencies for our services to assist in their cases. Task force investigators are often asked to assist other agencies when they have stolen, burned, and dismantled vehicles, or stolen trailers, ATVs, or heavy equipment involved. Task Force investigators often assist in the execution of search warrants were stolen vehicles and items and believed to be located. During these operations, stolen vehicles, motor vehicle component parts, ATVs, trailers, and fraudulent documents have been located. Adding two additional Task Force investigators to the Task Force will greatly help by having TF Investigators with specialized training spread out in our coverage area to assist these other agencies. The task force is not overlapped by any other task force. The task force keeps a working relationship with other task forces throughout the state to provide information and assistance to their task forces as well as to obtain information and assistance from them. The task force will assist other agencies and task forces with the collection and processing of evidence, obtaining information on possible suspects located in our program area, and the detection and locating of stolen vehicles and property. The task force has and will continue to work with other funded task forces with covert operations occurring in their program area. The task force investigators will continue to offer training to surrounding agencies on stolen vehicle recognition and vehicle related crimes.
