Provide an assessment of the auto theft problem in the areas of coverage and existing activities that address the problem. Identify the target population and the geographic target area. Most of the counties in the coverage are do not have specialized units or training in auto theft. The coverage area of the 10 counties have a combined population of around 500,000 people. Comparing the data from 2009 to 2010-11 our area saw an approximately 65% increase in motor vehicle theft. The task force is the only unit doing 68-A's. b. Describe the extent to which this project will duplicate or overlap existing activities, and why that (if any) is necessary. This project is not known to duplicate or overlap existing activities in our (10) ten county coverage areas other than the general law enforcement duties that are currently in place from each state, county, and municipality. To our knowledge the Northeast Auto Theft Task force is the only ones doing 68'A's in the coverage area. c. Describe and document trends of the problem and the need that makes this grant necessary. At this time there continue to be approximately the same number of stolen vehicles compared to 2010 to 2011 vehicle theft data. Comparing the data from 2009 to 2010-11 our area saw an approximately 65% increase in motor vehicle theft.
