DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT
This section must include a brief description (not exceeding 200 words) of the proposed project.
For continuation, if necessary, of any item on application page ABTPA-1. Identify by number the item
being continued.
This sheet may also be used for any other remarks, at the applicant's option.
The Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force began covering Delta, Fannin, Lamar, and Red River Counties
in September, 1994. The ABTPA awarded the City of Paris a grant to fund a two man program. Through
the years we have increased the coverage area to take in Northeast Texas. The counties include Bowie,
Delta, Fannin, Franklin, Grayson, Hopkins, Hunt, Lamar, Red River, and Titus. This area is 8,000 square
miles and has a population of over 500,000 people. It is always our main goal to reduce the auto crimes in
the coverage area. The Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force combines forces with the Texas
Department of Public Safety Criminal Investigation Division to detect and apprehend offenders in the
area. We coordinate the resources and manpower with the Texas Department of Public safety Criminal
Investigation Division to educate Law Enforcement and the Public in our coverage area. We also have a
great working relationship with the Tax-Assessors in our area. We will strive to reduce the auto crimes in
the Northeast Texas by continuing the working rapports we have with all agencies in Northeast Texas.
Our Task Force will enforce the laws on area salvage yards, repair shops, and vehicle dealers. We will
also continue the line of communication with the Tax-Assessors to reduce auto theft and document fraud.
The two officers assigned to this grant program will use 100% of their time to reduce auto theft in the
Northeast Texas area. They will meet regularly with agencies in the area to collect and distribute
necessary intelligence. The Paris Chief of Police and the County Attorney will meet regularly to evaluate
the program.

MVTS were the only full-time auto theft investigators at that time in the Northeast Texas area. Since
then the Texas DPS had gone through some changes and no longer have dedicated auto theft
investigators. DPS now has a Criminal Investigation Division. There is a population over 500,000
people. There is approximately 750,000 vehicles registered in the coverage area. Texarkana PD had an
ABTPA funded program for a couple of years, but elected to vacate the program when the funding was
reduced several years ago.
The Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force has always had two officers assigned to the program. A
sergeant and a detective from the Paris Police department are assigned. They spend 100% of their time
to investigate auto crimes in the Northeast Texas area from Sherman to Texarkana, down to Greenville
and back to Paris. This is a twelve county area. With the UCR now available, we showed 812 auto thefts
last year, which includes all agencies in the coverage area. The year before there was 940 vehicle
thefts. This shows a 14% decrease in vehicle thefts. The BMV's for last year was 1,917 and for the year
before there were 2,081 reported. This is a decrease of approximately 8%. There are forty-two (42)
different law enforcement agencies in our coverage area, not including State and Federal agencies. We
do everything possible to assist all agencies when requested. The main problem in our area continues to
be small groups consisting of offenders between 12 and 25 years of age. These groups are well
organized and loyal to each other. It is difficult for the Courts to detain the juveniles unless they are
repeat offenders. We have identified about seven different groups in the Paris area. We have only been
able to arrest eleven of the offenders.
The Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force has co-sponsored an eight hour Basic Motor Vehicle Theft
School this year. There were forty students in the class from seven agencies. The Texas Department of
Public Safety Criminal Investigation Division sponsored the class with us and allowed us to instruct
some of the classes. Lt. Phillip Fuller, with the DPS CID in Garland was a tremendous asset in the
organization of this class. We are planning another class in Hunt County later this year.
As I stated earlier, there was 812 motor vehicle thefts last year and 940 the year before. This is a 14%
ABTPA-21
decrease. We had a decrease in BMV's from 2081 in 2008 to 1917 last year, showing us an 8%
decrease.
Our coverage area consists of twelve counties, which are: Bowie, Camp, Delta, Fannin, Franklin,
Grayson, Hopkins, Hunt, Lamar, Morris, Red River, and Titus Counties.
Fortunately, we have and will always continue our cooperative working effort with the Texas Department
of Public Safety and all agencies in the coverage area. Two officers cannot cover the area we do without
this manpower cooperation.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE
2. Goals and Objectives (See Instructions on page 18)
My totals are from the UCR's of all the agencies in the twelve counties we cover. There were
812 auto thefts in 2009 and 940 in 2008. This is a 14% decrease. We will strive to have a 5%
decrease for 2010/2011. The BMV's are down from 2081 to 1917. This is an 8% decrease. Our
Task Force will continue to work with all agencies in our area to assist or train officers in
processing vehicles for evidence in auto crimes. We use ISO and LEADS ON LINE for
identifying offenders and developing leads. We work with Paris Police Department's Public
Information Officer in planning public awareness and PSA's. The east Texas Broadcasting airs
PSA announcements without charge. They cover most of our area.
Here are the tools we use to complete investigations:
• Obtain and develop information on auto crimes and identification of offenders
• Interview and interrogate offenders and interview victims
• Locate and recover stolen vehicles, parts, stolen property, etc.
• Identify altered vehicles (salvage inspections & 68A inspections, dealers)
• Investigate Insurance Fraud
• Arrest offenders and complete required investigation
• Set and testify at property hearings to restore stolen property
• Use LEADS ON LINE and communicate with pawn details to develop leads
• Perform inspections on salvage yards, repair shops, and vehicle dealers
• Assist Tax-Assessors in identifying altered or fictitious documents
• Assist Tax-Assessors in educating personnel
The Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force with continue to do public awareness programs
and educate the law enforcement and public in auto crimes prevention. We use civic group meetings,
local fairs, car shows, and local media to reach the public. DPS CID will always be used if available to
assist in investigations and training.
We cannot complete our goals without working with all agencies in our coverage area.
Continuing goals of the Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task force are:
• Reduce auto crimes in our coverage area by 5%
• Present five public awareness programs
• Provide three auto theft training classes
• Continue cooperative efforts with agencies and prosecutors to identify crime
areas and types of investigations
The City of Paris has the grants:
• Felony Crimes Unit
ABTPA-24
Our officers are trained in cultural diversity, public awareness, and legal updates of all Federal,
State, and case laws on a regular basis.
Proposed Proiect Activities
Our coverage area is approximately 8,000 square miles with a population of just over 500,000
over twelve counties. There are over 750,000 vehicles registered in our area with an estimated five
(5) percent average increase over our coverage area. We assist with cases in forty-two (42) different
agencies. The agencies in our area are smaller agencies with no full-time auto theft investigators.
We have had the same number of officers since the inception in September, 1994. The Northeast
Texas ATTF with DPS CID presented a Basic Auto Theft training class on April 15, 2010 that had
forty students and another planned in the fiscal year in Greenville, Hunt County, Texas.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE
3. Functions of the Proposed Project (See Instructions on page 18)
The Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force has a coverage area of 8,000 square miles which covers
most of Northeast Texas. Our officers handle all auto thefts, BMV's, and related crimes, whether covert
or overt. The Task Force perForms inspections on salvage yards, dealers, repair shops, and scrap metal
yards. It is still a problem that has popped up for everyone is vehicles being stolen and sold to scrap
yards not salvage yards. It has been a chore regulating these businesses and training them about what
has to be documented. The Paris Felony Crimes Unit has assisted in the enforcement of these violations
and is drawing up a city ordinance. This has helped to prevent some thefts of older vehicles and other
related crimes as, parts thefts. The Task Force sergeant uses records to document the types of cases,
property involved, disposition of the cases, recoveries of vehicles and other property and the values, and
types and number of arrests made. The records are then used to complete quarterly reports. The
Sergeant meets weekly with the Paris Police Chief and the Lamar County Sheriff, at least monthly with
Sheriffs and Chiefs of Delta, Fannin, Franklin, Red River, and Hopkins Counties. He meets when
necessary with the Prosecutors.
We always strive to reach the primary goal of reducing auto theft, BMV's, and other related crimes.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE
4. Proposed Evaluation Design (See Instructions on page 18)
The Northeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force sergeant will meet monthly with the Chief of Police,
Sheriffs, And Prosecutors in the coverage area in an effort to provide ongoing evaluation of the program.
The statistical data used for the evaluation is as follows:
1. Number of auto theft cases
2. Number of auto theft related cases
3. Number of BMV cases
4. Number of auto theft cases presented to and accepted by the prosecutors of each
county
5. Number of seizure cases
6. Number of vehicles, parts, or other property that is recovered
7. Number of salvage yards, car dealers, and repair shops inspected
8. Number of vehicles inspected
9. Number of training classes presented to officers
10. Number of agencies assisted
11. Number of public awareness programs
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.
