AUTOMOBILE THEFT PREVENTION AUTHORITY PROGRAM NARRATIVE 1. Problem Statement (See Instructions on pages 14.a and 14,b.) Priofto the inception of our Auto Theft Task Force in 1994, the City of Paris and Lamar County had a high rate of automobile thefts per capita. In 1993, Paris had one hundred forty (140) automobile thefts, or one (1) per one hundred eighty (180) persons, according to UCR reports. In 1994, our unit accomplished a twenty-five percent (25%) reduction in the auto theft rate in Paris and Lamar County, In 1995, the rate was reduced another ten percent (10%), Our goal in 1996, was to reduce the theft rate by five percent (5%). The UCR reports show a decrease of approximately eight and one-half percent (8.5%) for the year of 1996. Since the inception of our auto theft unit in September, 1994, we have recovered approximately two million dollars ($2,OOO,OOO.OO) in property, We have made over one hundred (100) arrests. The agencies in our grant area do not have the manpower to have full time auto theft investigators. The ATPA funded unit is a very valuable asset in this area. Our Auto Theft Task Force works closely with the Texas Department of Public Safety MYTS to cover the area we have. With the assistance of D.P.S., we have been able to provide auto theft training for patrol officers in this area. We had twenty-five (25) officers to attend a basic auto theft school in December, 1996. There are no duplicating or overlapping, existing activities, as we have the only Auto Theft Task Force in this area. ~ ATPA-12 I AUTOMOBILE THEFT PREVENTION AUTHORITY PROGRAM NARRATIVE, 2, Historical Data (See Instructions on pages 14.a and 14.b.) We Iiave continued to make a difference in the auto theft rate in our program . area for the third year. The UCR report shows we had 112 auto thefts in Lamar County and Paris. We actually had 104.

Proposed Project Activities (See Instructions on pages 14.a and 14,b,) (a) - Our goal is to decrease the auto theft rate in Paris and Lamar County by five percent (5%) during the upcoming grant year. (b) Our proposed activities and objectives are to continue providing two (2) full-time police officers to work in a multi-jurisdictional area in cooperation with the other agencies and organizations to prevent, educate, apprehend, and prosecute in the incidents of auto theft. (c) Our project will impact the stated problem by allowing two (2) officers to continue working full-time on auto thefts rather than a part-time basis by several officers. The word has spread in the grant area that we are concentrating on this problem, (d) The functions of the personnel involved will continue to be a Detective Sergeant and an Investigator who work diligently to enforce all auto . theft laws, make proper reports, maintain records, and work to educate officers and citizens on ways to prevent auto theft. (e) Our unit continues to impact this area. The estimated population ofthe grant area is over 100,000, (t) The City of Paris and Lamar County continue to be involved in many other grant programs, such as the Regional Drug Task Force, Police Athletic League, Juvenile Gang Officers, Community Policing Program, and School Resource Officers. These grants are ongoing. (g) First and foremost would be the UCR crime reports, which are prepared showing the amount of vehicles, stolen and recovered, (h) We are the only Auto Theft Task Force in northeast Texas that assists other agencies, We have complete cooperation with the Texas Department of Public Safety, M.V,T,S. and the East Texas Task Force in Tyler to cover all areas in east and northeast Texas. (i) We will continue to train officers of the surrounding area in detecting and preventing auto thefts.
