Identify by number the item <br /> being continued. <br /> <br /> This sheet may also be used for any other remarks, at the applicant's option. <br /> <br /> The City of Paris began the Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force, with the <br /> <br /> assistance of ATPA, in September, 1994. The Task Force assists agencies in <br /> Lamar, Red River, Fannin, Delta, Franklin, Hopkins, Titus, Grayson, Hunt, <br /> <br /> Bowie, and Southeast Oklahoma. We cover approximately 8,000 square miles <br /> with a population of about 500,000. We strive each year to meet the goal of <br /> <br /> reducing auto theft in our area. We always make it a goal to educate the law <br /> enforcement personnel and public in this part of Texas. We accomplish these <br /> <br /> goals by salvage yard inspections, vehicle dealer inspections, maintaining <br /> checks on repair shops to check for stolen vehicles and parts. Working <br /> <br /> closely with all agencies is helping to accomplish our goals. We have two <br /> officers that use 100% of their time to combat auto theft and auto related <br /> <br /> crimes. Some of the Tax Assessors in our area have jumped on the wagon to <br /> assist in every way possible to help prevent auto theft, title fraud, and <br /> <br /> all other document fraud. We meet with agencies on a regular basis to <br /> collect and distribute intelligence. The Paris Chief of Police and the <br /> County Attorney evaluate the program monthly. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ABTPA-3 <br /> 107 <br />
