DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT
This section musf include a brief description (not exceeding 200 words) of the proposed projecf.
For continuation, if necessary, of any item on application page ABTPA-1. Identify by number the item
being continued.
This sheet may a/so be used for any other remarks, at fhe applicant's option.
The City of Paris began the Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force, with the assistance of ATPA, in
September 1994. The Task Force assists agencies in Lamar, Red River, Fannin, Deita, Franklin, Hopkins,
Titus, Grayson, Hunt, and Bowie Counties and Southeastern Oklahoma. We cover approximately 8,000
square miles with a population of about 500,000. The main goal each year is to reduce the auto theft rate
in our area and to educate law enforcement personnel and the public in northeast Texas. We accompiish
these goals by inspecting salvage yards, automobile dealers, and repair shops to deter commercial theft'
and by working hand in hand with the Texas Department of Public Safety MVTS and all agencies in our
area. Our two investigators use 100% of their time to combat auto theft and other related crimes, and we
work closely with the Tax Assessors in all cooperating counties to help prevent auto theft, title fraud, and
other document fraud. The Task Force also gathers intelligence about theft rings by holding intelligence
meetings with local agencies. The Task Force sergeant will meet at least monthly with the Chief of Police
and the County Attorney to evaluate the program.

since 1994. Until ABTPA funded the N.E. Texas ATTF, the Texas Department of Public Safety Motor Vehicle Theft Service had two
Sergeants assigned to our area. There were no other full time auto theft investigators. We were originally funded to cover the
8,000 square mile area with a population of over 500,000 people, and the population continues to increase. The counties of Delta,
Fannin, Grayson, and Hopkins are seeing an annual population increase by people moving from the Dalias-Ft. Worth Metroplex.
The Fannin County Tax Assessor stated she saw a 1% increase in 2007. It is estimated that the number of vehicles registered in
our coverage area may be close to 750,000.
The NE Texas ATTF has always consisted of two officers, a sergeant and an investigator. Each use 100% of their time
investigating auto crimes. In 2006, there were 474 auto burglaries in Delta, Fannin, Franklin, Hopkins, Lamar, Red River, and
Titus. In 2007, these counties had 382, which is a 20% reduction. The auto thefts for the same counties increased from 209 to 234.
This is an 11% increase. Bowie, Camp, Grayson, and Morris had an estimated total of 467 motor vehicle thefts for 2006 (UCR for
2007 not available) and 955 burglaries of vehicies. We work closely with DPS and ali other agencies within our area. Our offiCers
work with agencies from Arkansas, Oklahoma, Dallas-Ft. Worth, and other State and federal agencies. We will coordinate efforts
with these agencies to determine the reason for the increase in our theft rate. - -
We assisted DPS in a training class at the Texarkana Police Academy. The NE Texas ATTF will continue to provide training for ail
agencies in this area. DPS is planning a training class in the Grayson County area.
COVERAGE AREA: Delta, Fannin, Franklin, Hopkins, Lamar, Red River, Titus
ASSISTANCE TO COUNTIES: Bowie, Camp, Grayson, Hunt, and Morris
There were 701 thefts in these twelve counties for 2007. This is an estimated total since UCR for 2007 is not available at this time.
There are still only five fuil-time vehicle theft investigators in the twelve county area, which includes three DPS Sergeants and the
two NE Texas ATTF investigators.
We will continue to assist DPS with training classes for 2008-2009. We need their manpower and resources to accomplish this.
Historical Information
The Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task force has two officers from the Paris Police Department assigned to the grant program. The
Sergeant and Investigator spend 100% of their time investigating auto thefts and other auto related crimes. The program is in the
thirteenth year and assists with such crimes in twelve counties.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE
2. Goals and Objectives (See lnstructions on page 18)
This year presented a decrease from 564 auto thefts in 2006 to 467 thefts in 2007. This was an 18% decrease for all twelve
counties in our area. The decrease duplicated the 18% decrease in 2006. We feel this is attributed to the total cooperation of all
agencies in this area. The Texas DPS has been a tremendous power behind our success. Coordinating major investigations with
the DPS MVTS sergeants is the key. We perForm more overt operations than covert, but there are times you have to do covert
operations. DPS has the equipment to provide for us to use with these types of investigations.
Below are some of the tools used to complete investigations:
. Obtain and develop information on vehicie crimes and identification of offenders
• Interview and interrogate offenders and witnesses
• Locate and recover stolen vehicles, parts, etc.
• Identify altered vehicles (salvage yard inspections & 68A inspections)
• Investigate insurance fraud '
• Arrest offenders and use the required follow-up for prosecution
• Set and appear at hearings to restore stolen property
• inspect salvage dealers, repair shops, and vehicle dealers
• Assist Tax Assessors in identification of fraudulent documents
• Assist Tax Assessors in training personnel on proper documentation
The Northeast Texas ATTF will continue to do H.E.A.T. registrations and VIN etchings when requested. We make public
presentations to civic groups and have booths at local fairs and car shows. We presented one training course this year, with two
others being canceled by the Academy.
We continue to work with all agencies in our coverage area to combat auto theft and related crimes.
Continuing goals for the Northeast Texas ATTF for next year are:
• Strive to continue the reduction of auto theft in our coverage area
• Continue our efforts at crime prevention
• Work diligently to present three Auto Theft Schools for officer training
• Continue to meet monthly with agencies and prosecutors to determine types and locations of investigations
The City of Paris Police Department has the following ongoing grants:
• Lamar County Felony Crimes Unit
• Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant
Our officers are trained in cultural diversity, public awareness, and legal updates of all Federal, State, and case laws on a regular
basis.
Proaosed Proiect Activities
The Northeast Texas ATTF covers approximately 8,000 square miles over twelve counties with a population estimated at about
500,000. It is estimated that there are approximately 750,000 vehicles registered in our area. Our Task Force assists an average
of 40 agencies, the majority of which are small and do not have full-time auto theft investigators. The Northeast Texas ATTF
started in September 1994 with one sergeant and one investigator to investigate auto theft and related crimes, and we still have
the same number of people. The Northeast Texas ATTF had three training classes scheduled; however, we were only allowed to
present one because of cancellation by the Academy for lack of registration.
The two officers that are assigned to the Task Force have completed special training through the Texas Department of Public
Safety, National Insurance Crime Bureau, and the Texas Automobile Theft Prevention Authority. The Task Force Sergeant
handles the administrative and daily operation of the Task Force. The sergeant and the investigator handle the investigations of
the auto thefts, other related crimes from start to the end of prosecution, public awareness, training, and inspections.
ABTPA-24
(Attachment)
ATPA-24
All agencies in our coverage area have contact numbers for the Task Force ofFicers. This way, our officers are able to be in
contact with the agencies either day or night, as needed. The investigators and patrol officers of the agencies utilize our officers
to assist in everyway necessary, twenty-four hours a day. In fact, all divisions of State, Locai, N.I.C.B., F.B.I., or out of state
agencies know they can call us whenever needed. The wonderFul working relationship we have with these people is the main
reason we are able operate as effectively as we do, because we could not operate without the assistance of the D.P.S. Motor
Vehicle Theft Service Sergeants assigned to our area.
Our officers are also trained in cultural-diversity classes as mandated by law.
The Northeast Texas ATTF spends 100% of its time investigating auto thefts or related crimes. Our Task Force scheduled three
officer training classes this year for our area, and we assisted in two classes at the Texarkana Police Academy. We also had a
public awareness booth at the county fair, car show, and National Night Out.
Functions of Si4nificant Personnel Involved
The Sergeant is responsible for the daily operation of the Task Force, administrative records, salvage inspections, dealer
inspections, TxDOT 68A inspections, and investigation of cases assigned to the Task Force. Public awareness and training is
coordinated through the Sergeant.
The Investigator assigned to the Task Force is responsible for the cases assigned to him, salvage inspections, dealer
inspections, TxDOT 68A inspections, and assists in public awareness.

1) Number of auto theft cases
2) Number of auto theft related cases
3) Number of auto theft cases presented to and accepted by the prosecutor of each county
4) Number of seizure cases
5) Number of vehicles, parts, or other property that is recovered
6) Number of salvage yards, car dealers, and repair shops inspected
7) Number of vehicles inspected
8) Number of training classes presented to officers
9) Number of agencies assisted
10) Number of public awareness presentations
The Task Force members meet weekly with the Criminal Investigation Divisions of agencies in our coverage area. The targeted
areas for investigations are determined at these meetings.

The Franklin County Sheriff s Office is in the opinion that the Northeast Texas Auto
Theft Task Force is a task force that has earned it's funding each and every year. Every
time we have called upon the Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force, they have shown
the commitment to provide the vest service to out community and to our department.
The Northeast Texas Auto Task Force members have the knowledge and experience that
our department does not have. If these assets were not available to the Franklin County
Sheriffls Office, we would have to look elsewhere. This would greatly hinder our
investigations and apprehension of the subjects responsible for the crime. The Franklin
County Sheriffls Office has come to rely upon their assistance.
The funding for the Northeast Texas Auto Task Force is important to our department and
is a need in our community. One should not be concerned that they are getting something
for the funding of this task force. Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force has always
earned the funding they were given and any funding they will receive in the future. The
Franklin County Sheriff's Office encourages the funding agency continue to fund the
Northeast Texas Auto, not only for the communities in Northeast Texas but as for the
State of Texas.
Sincerely,
Charles J. White,
Sheriff
