For continuation, if necessary, of any item on application page ATPA-1. Identify by number the item being continued. This sheet may also be used for any other remarks, at the applicant's option. The Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD) would like to continue its relationship with the Auto Theft Prevention Authority, RATT, and HEAT and go forward in the reduction of auto thefts, increase recovery of stolen vehicles and increase public awareness in our community. It is essential to network with the Department of Public Safety (DPS), the Nueces County Task Force, Customs, and surrounding law enforcement agencies to reduce the trafficking of stolen vehicles and vehicle parts in our community. The goal of the Corpus Christi Auto Theft Task Force is the prevention, detection and apprehension of suspects through an enhanced use of technology, predicting both the location of the stolen vehicles and their recovery location. The use of data/crime analysis, suspect linking, and a more focused approach to proactive enforcement will further enhance the abilities of the sworn personnel to prevent, detect, apprehend, and ultimately successfully prosecute suspects. Our proactive auto theft team conducts investigations of motor vehicle thefts as well as inspections of area salvage yards, accessory shops, wrecker companies, and other businesses dealing automobile parts. This team is made up of sworn personnel and civilian personnel The public awareness programs will be more interactive with the public. The campaigns will use the new and innovative techniques and props to educate law enforcement, young and older adults about auto theft prevention possibilities. We will get the public more involved with the events occurring within the community. We will utilize volunteer personnel. The auto theft prevention public awareness program will be very visual in the community through television, radio, and visual signs.

Problem Statement and Historical Information (See Instructions on page 17) a Over the past 10 years, the City of Corpus Christi has averaged between 900 to 1500 auto thefts annually. The data reveals several reporting districts that continuously have the highest number of stolen vehicles. Throughout the City, some of the specific areas that are targeted by thieves are strip malls, motels, large apartment complexes, high tourist areas and other areas with high levels of prostitution, drug activity. 34% of reported 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 corridor with Mexico. With the container shipping in our area, the potential of exportation of vehicles and vehicle parts escalates drastically The Port IS the ih 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 surrounding areas that need to be addressed. Different groups of auto thieves are targeting vehicles such as Ford trucks, other Ford products, trailers, Chevrolet trucks, and SUV's. 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 track where these vehicles are being stolen and recovered. This data is also being passed on to the patrol officers to better determine 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. b 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 Laredo 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 construction vehicles generally end up in Mexico or Guatemala). We have a team of 6 sworn police officers working both proactively and reactively on cases I investigations. The proactive team with the assistance of the reactive team has conducted 20 salvage yard inspectIOns dunng the I sl two quarters. 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, 321 vehicles were inspected. Several contacts were made during the salvage yard inspections. This amount contributed to the overall recovery of 5.2 million for the entire 2004-2005 grant year. The salvage yard inspections have increased awareness of salvage yard owners and consumers. Networking IS an essential function of our task force. The officers work closely with DPS (Department of Public Safety) as well as other local law enforcement agencies and other established ATPA-19 A fPA. Task Forces when ,;ascs are Jomtly heing mvestIgated. Currently, we share valuable mtonnatIon such as investigatIve leads and data that our agency generates with other area agencies in a combmed etTort to solve cases. During the current grant year, we have seen an increase in insurance fraud cases and as a result have established a bond with NICB and other special investigative officers of various msurance agencies. This combined effort between our agency and other surroundingiaw enforcement agencies has resulted in positive relationships, proactive investigation results and several convictions The task force implemented several proactive techniques to help reduce auto theft. Some of the techniques that were used during this time were bait vehicles at high auto theft areas, "chop shop" investigations. salvage yard inspections, surveillance of auto thieves, fictitious chop shops and cultivating criminal informants. We have implemented a new intranet database that can only be viewed by our auto theft detectives which shows auto thieves, their choice of vehicles and their chOIce of method. The graphs alongside represent the top reporting districts in which auto theft is occurring. ThIS mformation was used to designate the most crucial point to set up the bait vehicle WIth GPS and computer generated surveillance. Most Frequent Location: RD 4052 -21 (Holly btwn Carroll Ln. & Weber Rd.) RD PSMI-15 (Padre Staples Mall) RD 1004-13 (North Shoreline at Surfside Blvd.) RD 1009-13 (N. Lower Broadway and Ocean Dr. btwn Schatzell & Kinney) RD 1049-13 (Leopard and 137 btwn Corn Products & SPID) Several awareness campaigns and educational programs have been formulated and put to work to educate our young and older individuals in the community. Public awareness programs will target and educate with the HEAT program, W atch Your Car program, VIN etching and a special focus to those who leave their keys in the car. We will be focusing strongly on apartment complexes due to the escalating auto thefts occurring in those areas. We will hopefully be able to able a plate reader from NICB to proactIvely run plates in apartment complexes and other areas that are frequented by auto thieves. d. This project does not duplicate or overlap any existing activities. This project is a beneficial project that continues to benefit the community in a positive and proactive manner. The Auto Theft Task Force is involved with actiVIties, which include salvage yard inspections, fictitious chop shops to lure auto thieves, and stake outs for possible suspects. With these proactive approaches several cases have been mitiated and solved by the task force prior to a ring of auto thefts occurring in high auto theft areas. The proactive approach to this gateway crime has proven to be a success in capturing the unsuspecting criminal or criminals. ATPA.20 AUTOMOBILE THEFT PREVENTION AUTHORITY PROGRAM NARRATIVE 2. Goals and Objectives (See Instructions on page 18) The City of Corpus Chnsti has averaged 1200 motor vehicles thefts within the last 4 years There has been a 41 % decrease in auto thefts since the Inception of the A TP A grant in 200 I to current grant year 2005 The bar graph to the nght shows an average decrease of 9.6 0/0 within the last 5 ,'ears. L\ccording to VCR reports, the auto theft rate of stolen vehicles In 2005 was 906. The number of vehicles stolen in Corpus Christi is the lowest it has been since 1990, which was 1249 vehicles. As our Auto Theft Task Force rate drops we have found more mnovative ways to combat crime against auto thieves. We have mitiated bait operations to apprehend auto thieves and work with mformants to expose other organized auto theft rings. Of the 906 motor vehicle thefts In 2005, the majority occurred in L\ugust, with March being the slowest month of the year. This is represented III the bar graph La the lower right. fhe largest percentage of vehicles are stolen between the hours of I Op.m. and 4 a.m. This statistic is represented in the pie chart to the nght.

Month and Year AUTOMOBILE THEFT PREVENTION AUTHORITY PROGRAM NARRATIVE 3. Functions of the Proposed Project (See Instructions on page 18) a. Describe the specific goals of the project. - The Corpus Christi Auto Theft Task Force will continue proactive investigation techniques to focus on the prevention, detection and apprehension of suspects. - The team of civilians will continue to provide an enhanced proactive approach through data/crime analysIs, suspect linking and in providing weekly lists of stolen / recovered vehicles on particular beats for the officers in the field. - The public awareness campaign will target drivers who leave keys in their vehicles. The campaign is geared towards also promoting the HEAT program, VIN etching program as well as the Watch Your Car Program. Public awareness programs will promote awareness at apartment complexes, shoppmg centers, convenience stores, and many other entities. b. Describe the proposed activities of the project. Include any quantifiable data by which project activities can be measured. - Conduct 4 bait vehicle operations per month. Include bait vehicle public awareness in our daily awareness campaIgns. 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 alterations. A database and/or written documentation will be created to note all types of alterations. The Unit will initiate and conduct long and short term proactive investigations resulting from mformation received from citizens, law enforcement officers, and confidential informants as well as active crime/data. These investigations will lead to the capture of the motor vehicle theft suspects as warrants are made available. Undercover surveillance and reversals will occur with the assistance of confidential informant funds, the GPS unit and audio surveillance. Proactive operations designed to apprehend suspects in the auto thefts and insurance frauds will continue. The civilian crime/data 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 strategies to accomplish this task: Drivers education classes, senior citIzen community centers, assisted living communities, neighborhood on watch programs, area mall parking lots, billboards, new car buyer orientations, TV / radio commercials and programs, newspaper articles, public service announcements, press releases, A TP A-22 mOVIe screen advertisements, bill mserts, water bill messages and booths at community events. The campaIgn WIll also coordinate with existing community programs, Citizen Advisory Councils by attending meetings with community leaders and citizens to discuss area problems and possible solutions. In combining public awareness programs with other law enforcement divisions we will provide an additional level of proactive public awareness to officers and civilians. The Staff Assistant will mamtain and update the auto theft Intranet system with new auto thieves and their modus approndi (MO). The following data will be collected. This is the minimum data, but as the Unit progresses other data elements 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 Value of Parts recovered Miscellaneous property recovered Number of salvage yard inspections Number of training classes provided Uniform Crime Report motor vehicle theft offense reports c. Describe how the project will impact the stated problem. Through the implementation of the above strategies we will accomplish the following: a. File 250 auto theft related cases b. Initiate 70 self initiated cases to include proactive cases through information from statistical / mapping data c. Maintain salvage yard inspections at 40 d. Increase the public awareness presentations and events to 150 e. Issue 125 crime analysis bulletins f. Investigate 30 insurance fraud cases g. Investigate 10 title fraud cases h, Photograph and document 120 vehicles sold at CCPD auctions & routinely check that totaled vehicles are not used to re-vin stolen vehicles. I. Conduct a 1 day intelligence sharing seminar twice a year with surrounding agencies to educate detectives, Sill's, and other law enforcement agencies about auto thefts and trends in South Texas. J. Initiate 4 bait vehicle operations a month k Continuously update offender database, minimum 5 per month d. Describe the functions of significant personnel involved. All sworn personnel are members of the Corpus Christi Police Department. The Lieutenant serves as the supervisor over the five sworn officers, the Management Assistant, the Crime/Data Analyst, and the Staff Assistant. The entire group works in a team-based environment. e. Describe proposed plan for auto theft prevention, education, and training With a significant number of all auto thefts the result of victims leaving keys in vehicles, the public awareness campaign has a great potential to reach many vulnerable citizens. We will conduct 150 presentations in the community to provide information on Auto Theft Prevention. We will conduct 2 auto theft intelligence sharing sessions throughout the year. We will do press releases, public service announcements and interviews as needed. The public awareness campaign will utIlize existing and new methods and strategies for community education and involvement. A TP A-23 AUTOMOBILE THEFT PREVENTION AUTHORITY PROGRAM NARRATIVE 3. Functions of the Proposed Project (See Instructions on page 18) a. Identify the target population, the estimated number of persons 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 become 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. Inspections of area salvage yards will result in businesses either being closed or following state mandated laws so they won't be involved illegal activity, thus preventing citizens from becoming victims by possibly buying stolen auto parts. b. Describe the applicant's experience or qualifications. The City of Corpus Christi has over 3,600 employees with an annual budget of $519 million. The Police Department has 448 sworn officers, 232 civilians, and an annual budget of $48 million. The Police Department currently is operating 14 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 Department and forwarded to the Finance Office. All procedures for purchases fall under the City Charter and State Law. c. Describe how this project will cooperate/coordinate activities with other appropriate agencies/projects. The Corpus ChriStl 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. The officers in the reactive as well as the proactive auto theft task force have been deputized and now have the Jurisdiction to extend their searches to Kleberg, and Kennedy. Additionally, all data crime analYSIS bulletins, and intelligence information will be shared with other Task 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 oftime. d. Describe in what way (if any) is this project innovative and what methods taken to assure that the project demonstrates cross-cultural awareness in all project activities and in its staffing and training. The Auto Theft Task Force will continue to use a proactive approach to motor vehicle thefts 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 using the information provided by the CIvilians through technology. Detectives will apprehend the suspect by tracking and surveillance prior to himlher committing a series of auto thefts. We consider this innovative in that it is managmg crime with technology - a very strong focus on being proactive. The public awareness campaign will utilize existing and new methods and strategies for community education and involvement. The employees hired under the grant are employees of the City of Corpus Christi. Police Department. 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 A TP A-24 PolIce Officers Association, The public awareness campaign is striving to make contact with all demographIcs present within the City of Corpus Christl.
