DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT
Thts section must Include a brief description (not exceeding 200 words) of the proposed project.
For continuation, if necessary, of any Item on application page ATPA-1. Identify by number the Item
being continued.
Thts sheet may also be used for any other remarks, at the appllcent's opUon.
The Corpus Chdsti Police Department (CCPD) would like to continue its relationship with Auto Theft
Prevention Authority, RA']-I', and HEAT and go forward in the reduction of auto thefts, increase auto
theft recoveries, and increase public awareness in our community. It is essential to network with the
Department of Public Safety (DPS), the Jim Wells Auto Theft Task Force, Customs, and other
surrounding law enforcement agencies to reduce the trafficking of stolen vehicles and vehicle parts in
our community.
The goal of the Corpus Chdsti Auto Theft Task Force is the prevention, detection, and apprehension of
suspects through an enhanced use of technology, mapping of both the location of the stolen vehicles
and their recovery location. The use of dataJcrime analysis, suspect linking, and a moro focused
approach to proactive enforcement will further enhance the abilities of the swom personnel to prevent,
detect, apprehend, and ultimately successfully prosecute suspects. Our proactive auto theft team
conducts investigations or motor vehicle thefts as well as inspections of area salvage yards, accessory
shops, wrecker companies, and other businesses dealing in automobile parts.
The public awaroness programs will be moro interactive with the public. The campaigns will use the
new and innovative techniques to educate law enforcement, young and old adults of auto theft
prevention possibilities. We will get the public moro involved with the events occurring within the
community. The auto theft prevention public awareness program will be very visual in the community
through television, radio, and visual signs.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE
Problem Statement and Historical InformaUon (See InstrucUons on page 17)
Over the past 9 years, the City of Corpus Christi has averaged 1050 to 1500 auto thefts annually.
The a.t. reveals several reporting distxicts that continuously have the highest number of stolen
vehicles. Throughout the City, some of the specific areas that are targeted by thieve~ are strip
malls, motels, large apar~ent complexes, and other areas with a high level of prostitution, drug
activity. 37% ofraported auto thefts occur between the hours of 10 p.m. and 4 a.m.
The Port Authority of Corpus Christi has developed a major container shipping facility that ships
800,000 containers annually with a strong focus on the North and South trade comdor with Mexico.
With thc container shipping in our area, the potential of exportation of vehicles and vehicle pm'ts
escalates drastically. The Port is the 7th largest Port in tonnage, primarily in importation and
exportation of petroleum products in the United States. Each year the Port Authority of Corpus
Christi is expanding their facilities and their range of exportation. This expansion positively
benefits the Corpus Christi community, but affects auto theft negatively because of all the
exportation benefits to the auto thief.
In addition, there are specific problematic areas in Corpus Christi and sun'ounding areas that need to
be addressed. Different groups of auU> thieves are targeting vehicles snch as Chevrolet products,
Ixallers, Ford Super Duty Series ~a'ueks, and vans. Through tactical crime analysis the auto theft task
force will focus on these specific groups of auto thieves_ Statistical analyses will allow the auto
theft detectives to make predictions concerning when the crime occurs, at what location it occurs,
how it occurred, when will it happen again and in what manner. With the statistical data, we have
immediate information which is beneficial for timely follow up on auto thefts. The Statistical and
mapping data will help to la'ack where these vehicles are being stolen and recovered. This data eau
also be passed on to the palxol officers to better det~mfine when an auto theft might occur and what
part of the city. The Statistical Analysis gives the task force a better grasp of what is out there and
what to expect in regards to crime trends and patterns.
The City of Corpus Christi has a population of 312,000 and covers an area of 450 square miles, of
which 120 is land and 330 is water. The City is located on the Gulf of Mexico within 140 miles of
l_,~edo and 160 miles of Brownsville. South Texas serves as a prime source for the trafficking of
stolen vehicles and parts on their way to Mexico, Guatemala, or points further south (stolen farm
machinery and constxuction vehicles generally end up in Mexico or Guatemala).
We have a team of 7 sworn police officers working both proactively and reactively on
cases/investigations. The proactive team with the assistance of the reactive team have conducted 10
salvage yard inspections during the 1~ two quarters, which have resulted in several arrests, several
stolen vehicles and a large amount of stolen parts. During the previous grant year, the auto theft
investigators with the assistance of civilian personnel had conducted a very limited amount of
salvage yard inspections. As a result of these salvage yard inspections, 295 vehicles were
inspected and 4 vehicles were recovered and secured. Several arrests were made and citations were
issued dta-mg the salvage yard inspections which contributed to the recovery amount of grant year
2003-2004 totaling approximately 121,000 in recovered paras and property. This amount
contributed to the overall recovery of 5.1 million for the entire 2003-2004 grant year. The salvage
yard inspections have increased awareness of salvage yard owners.
ATPA-19
Networking is an essential function of our task force. The officers work closely with DPS
(Department of Public Safety) Motor Vehicle Theft Division as well as other local law enforcement
agencies and other established ATPA Task Forces when cuses ar~ jointly being inve~gnted.
Currently, we share vaJnahle information such as investigative lem:ls and ~ that our agency
generates with other area agencies in a combined effort to solve cases. During the current grant
year, we have seen an increase in insurance fi-aud cases and as a result have established a bond with
NICB and other special investigative officers o£ various insurance agencies. This combined effort
between our agency and other surrounding law enforcement agencies has resulted in positive
relationships, proactive investigation results and several conviction~.
This grant year, the task force implemented several proactive techniques to help reduce ante theft.
Some of the techniques that were used during this time were bait vehicles at high auto theft area~,
"chop shop" investigations, salvage yard inspections, surveillance of auto thieves, fictions chop
shops and cultivating criminal informants. The graphs alongside represent the top reporting
dislricts m which auto theft is occurring. This information was used to designate the most crucial
point to set up the bait vehicle with GPS and computer generated surveillance.
Most Fre~luent Location:
RD 5071-21 ( Airline between Holly Rd. & Williams Dr.)
RD 4052 -18 (Holly between Carroll Ln. & Weber Rd-)
RD 5062-15 (S,P.I.D. between Flynn Pkwy & Weber Rd-)
RD 1039-13 (Navigation between Leopard & 137)
RD 5064-13 (S.PJ.D, between Everhart & Flynn Pk'wy)
Several awareness campaj~ms and educational programs have been formulated and put to work to
educate our young and old- Public awareness programs will tm-get and educate with the HEAT
program, Watch Your Car program, VIN etching and a special focus to those who leave their keya
in the car. We will be focusing strongly on apartment complexes due to the escalating auto thefts
occurring in those areas_
d_ This project does not duplicate or overlap any existing activities. This project is a beneficial project
that continues to benefit thc commumty m a positive and proactive ~laanner. The Auto Theft Tusk
Force is involved with activities, which include salvage yard inspections, fictitious chop shops to
lure auto thieves, and stake outs for possible suspect~. With these proactive approaches several
cases have been initiated and solved by the task force prior to a ring of auto thefts occumng in high
auto theft areas. The proactive approach to this gateway crime has proven to lac a success in
capturing the unsuspecting criminal or criminals.

vehicle t~efLs within the last 4 years. Ther~ has been a
29.9 % decrease ia auto thefts since the inception of the
ATPA grant in 2001 to current grant year 2004. The bar
graph t~ the right shows an average decrease of 8.3 %
within the last 4 years.
According to UCR reports, the auto theft rate of stolen
vehicles in 2004 was 1062. The numberr of vehicles stolen
m Corpus Christi is the lowest it has been since 1990,
which was 1249 vehicles.
The number of cases filed for grant year 2002/2003
compared to 2003/2004 has remained moderately stabilized
around 300 being filed and accepted by the District
Attorney for prosecution. In 2003/2004 we filed 303 cases,
which is 28% of eases filed, and in 2002/2003, we filed
379, which is only 29% of vehicles filed_ The Auto Theft
Task force ha~q averaged approximately 28.5% of all cases
brought before the DA has been filed and prosecuted.
Of the 1062 motor vehicle thefts in 2004, the majority
occurred in June, with February being the slowest month of
the year. This is represented in the bar graph to the right.
The largest percentage of vehicles are stolen between the
hours of 10p.m. and 4 a_m.. This statistic ns represented in

2. Goals and Objectives (See Instructions on page 18)
a. Describe the specific goals of the project.
- T~e Corpus Christi Auto TbeR Task Force will continue proactive inv~Jg~tion techniques to
focus on the prevention, d~t=ction and apprehension of suspects.
- The team of civilians will continue to provide an 6rnhancgd proactive approach through
d~t~/crim¢ analysis, suspect linking and in providing weekly lists of stolen / recov,~xl vehicles
on pa~.icular beats for thc officers in thc field.
- Thc public awareness campaign will target drivers who leave keys in their vehicles. The
campaign is ge.a~d towards also promoting the HEAT program, VIN etching program as well as
thc Watch Your Car Program. Public awareness programs will promote awareness at apa~h,ent
complexes, shopping centers, convenience stores, and many otber entities_
b. Describe the proposed activities of the project. Include any quantifiable data by
which project activities can be measured.
The Team will conduct monthly inspections of area salvage yards, accessory shops, wrecker
companies, and other automobile part businesses. These inspections will focus on the selling of
automobiles without proper licenses and titles of vehicles that were fraudulently purchased with
stolen identities from area car dealers. Many cases have resulted in altered vehicle identification
numbers on vehicle information and the Unit conducts an examination and documentation of these
alt~watious. A database and/or written documentation will be created to note all types of
alterations.
The Unit will initiate and conduct long and short t~m proactive investigations resulting from
information received from citizens, law enforcement officers, and confidential inforpaants as well
as active erime/data. These investigations will lead to the capture of the motor vehicle theft
suspects as wammts are made available.
Undercover surveillance and reversals will occur with the assistance of confidential informant
funds, the bait vehicle equipment, the GPS unit and audio surveillance. Proactive opermious
designed to apprehend suspects in the auto thefts and insurance fi'auds will continue.
The civilian cThile/clai-a analyst will continue to develop and maintain intelligence files, generate
statistical reports to catalog offenses, locations of offenses and recovered vehicles, vehicle
information, frequency of crimes and other details to identify emerging crime patterns and trends.
This information is being distributed to the Auto Theft Unit and Patrol. With this data, the Crime
Analyst has generated reports which indicate the reporting districts with the highest auto theft rate.
The Crime Analyst produces a weekly stolen vehicle summary that outlines auto thefts by location
and recoveries. These reports will produce the repetitive patterns of thefts.
The Management Assistant will continue to implement and coordinate the public awareness
campaign with a major focus on the large percentage of thefts occurring due to keys left in
vehicles. The campaign contains the following su'ateg;ies to accomplish this task: Drivers
education classes, semor citizen community centers, assisted living communities, neighborhood on
watch programs, area mall parking lots, billboa~xts, new car buyer orientations, TV / radio
commercials and programs, newspaper articles, public service announcements, press releases,
movie screen advertisements, bill inserts, water bill messages and booths at community events.
The campaign will also coordinate with existing comrntmity progranm, Citizen Advisory Councils
by attending meetings with community leaders and citizens to discuss area problems and possible
ATPA-22
provide an additional le~'~l of proactive public ~wareness to officers and civilians.
Monthly in-service training for Patrol officcm will be scheduled to enhance their abilities to locate
stolen vehicles. With Mobile Data Computers m their vehicles, field officers can provide a very
effective enhancement to the Unit's ability to recover stolen vehicles.
The following data will be collected. This is the minimum data~ but as the Unit progresses other
data clements will be added.
Number of Auto Theft arrests
Number of Cases Worked
Number of Cases Filed
Number of Vehicles recovered
Number of Training classes attended
Number of Public Awareness Presentations

c. Increa~ salvage yard inspections to 40
d. Increase the public awareness programs presented to 1 O0
e. Issue 100 crime analysis bulletins
f. Investigate 30 insttrance fraud cases
Investigate 20 title fraud ~
h. Photograph and document 120 vehicles sold at CCPD auctions & routinely check that
totaled vehicles are not used to re-yin stolen vehicles.
i. Conduct a 1 day intelligence sharing seminar twice a year with surrounding agencie~ to
educate detectives, SIU's, and other law enforcement agencies about auto thefts and trends
in South Texas.
d. Describe the functions of significant personnel Involved.
All sworn personnel are members of the Corpus Christi Police Dep~utment. The Lieutenant
serves aa the supervisor over the five sworn officers, the Management Assistant, the CrimedData
Analyst, and the data entry person. The entire group works in a team-based environment.
e. Describe proposed plan for auto theft prevenUon, education, and training
With a significant number of all auto thefts the result of victims leaving keys in vehicles, thc
public awareness campaign has a great potential to reach many vulnerable citizens. We will
conduct 15 presentations in the community to provide information on Auto Theft Prevention.
We will conduct 2 auto theft intelligence sharing se~ions throughout thc year. We will conduct
an in-service class once a month for police officers. We will do press releases, public service
announcements and interviews as needed. The public awareness campaign will utilize existing
and new methods and stxategie~ for community education and involvement.

3. FuncUons of the Proposed Project (See InstrucUons on page 18)
a. Identify the target population, the estimated number of parsons to be served, and
the service needs to be met by this project.
The City of Corpus Christi and Nueces County has a population of 312,000 each of whom could
at one point or another Ix:come a victim of motor vehicle theft. With a significant number of all
auto thefts being the result of victims leaving keys in vehicles, the public awareness campaign
has a great potential to reach many vulnerable citizens. Inspection.; of area salvage yards will
result in businesse~ either being closed or following stye mandated laws so they won't be
involved illegal activity, thus preventing citizens fi-om becoming victims by possibly buying
stolen auto parts.
b. Describe the applicant's expaHence or qualifications.
Thc City of Corpus Christi has over 3,500 employees with an annual budget of $367 million
The Police Department has 448 sworn officers, 225 civilians, and an annual budget of $48
million. Thc Police Depaxhuent cu.;utly is operating 15 grants with all financial paperwork
processed by the City of Corpus Christi Finance Office. All aspects of payroll and other
expenditures are prepared at the Police Depash,ent and forwarded to thc Finance Office. All
proc,~dttres for purchases fall under the City Charter and State Law.
c. Describe how this project will cooparate/coordlnate acUvlties with other
appropriate agencies/projects.
The Corpus Christi Auto Theft task force will continue to work with Customs, DPS, ATPA Task
Forces, and other surrounding law enforcement agencies to reach areas outside Corpus Christi.
Thc officers in the reactive as well as the proactive auto theft task force have been deputized and
now have thc jurisdiction to extend their searches to Kleberg, and Kennedy. Additionally, all
data crinle analysis bulletins, and intelligence information will be shared with other Taak Forces
in an effort to consolidate our efforts. We strive on working as a team and by sharing
information with other agencies, we accomplish more in a shorter amount of time.
A'rPA.24
assure that the project demonstrates cross-cultural awareness In all project
activities and In Its stsfflng and training.
Thc Auto Thcit Taak Force wiU continue to use a proactive approach to motor vehicle thefl$
through the use of crime/data analysis. Law enforcement will utilize the civilian product and
vital auto theft information. The sworn officers will work proactively by ming the information
provided by the civilians through technology. Detectives will apprehend the suspect by tracking
and surveillance prior to him/her committing a s,mes of auto thefta. We consider this innovative
in that it is managing crime with technology - a very strong focus on being proactive. The public
awarenesa campaign will utilize existing and new methods and stt'ategies for commUllity
education and involvement. The employees hired under the grant are employeea of the City of
Corpus Christi, Police D~partment_ The hiring followed established policies and practices of the
City which has an equal employment opportunity policy. The officers hired were covered under
the collective bargaining agreement between the City of Corpus Christi and the Corpus Christi
Police Officers Association. The public awareness campaign is striving to make contact with all
demographics present within the City of Corpus Christi. The campaign will reach people of
different socio-economic status, cultures, backgrotmds, ages, physical abilities, educational
background~, and geographical locations. The diverse range of individuals that the public
awarene~ programs are geared towards Senior citizens, college student~, and individuals
