<br /> AUTOMOBILE BURGLARY & THEFT PREVENTION AUTHORITY <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> PROGRAM NARRATIVE <br /> <br /> <br /> 3. Functions of the Proposed Project (See Instructions on page 18) <br /> <br /> The Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force has a coverage area <br /> <br /> of 8,000 square miles which covers most of northeast Texas. Our officers <br /> handle all auto thefts, burglary motor vehicle, and related crimes, whether <br /> <br /> covert or overt. The Task Force performs inspections on salvage yards, <br /> dealers, repair shops, and scrap metal yards. A new problem that has popped <br /> <br /> up for everyone is vehicles being stolen and sold to scrap yards not salvage <br /> yards. It has been a chore regulating these businesses and training them <br /> about what has to be documented. This has helped to prevent some thefts of <br /> <br /> older vehicles and other related crimes as, parts thefts. The Task Force <br /> sergeant uses records to document the types of cases, property involved, <br /> <br /> disposition of the cases, recoveries of vehicles and other property and the <br /> values, and types and number of arrests is made. The records are then used <br /> <br /> to complete quarterly reports. The Senior Detective meets weekly with the <br /> Paris Police Chief and the Lamar County Sheriff, at least monthly with <br /> <br /> Sheriffs and Chiefs of Delta, Fannin, Franklin, Red River, and Hopkins <br /> Counties. He meets when necessary with the Prosecutors. <br /> <br /> <br /> We always strive to reach the primary goal of reducing auto theft, Burglary <br /> Motor Vehicles, and other related crimes. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ABTPA-31 <br /> 135 <br />
