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 Corpus Christi Auto Theft Task Force is seeking to execute a strong proactive and reactive force in
the furtherance of the goal to reduce auto theft and burglaries in Corpus Christi.
The objective of the Auto Theft Task Force is the prevention, detection and apprehension of suspects.
With the prediction of both the location of stolen and burglarized vehicles and their recovery location, we
can provide a more focused approach to proactive enforcement. This will further enhance the abilities of
the sworn personnel to prevent, detect, apprehend, and successfully prosecute suspects. With the use
of our license plate reader and bait vehicle program we will be able to proactively work in the
community. Our efforts will involve conducting investigations of vehicle thefts, inspections of salvage
yards, accessory shops, wrecker companies, and businesses dealing automobile parts.
Our public awareness campaign will be very visual in the community through television, radio, and visual
signs and will be challenged to reach a broad audience. A special emphasis will be placed on reaching
the population that currently faces the highest risk. The campaigns will use innovative techniques and
props to educate law enforcement the public about auto theft and burglary prevention possibilities.

PROGRAM NARRATIVE
1. Problem Statement and Historical Information (See Instructions on page 17)
a. Since 2003, the City of Corpus Christi has had an average of 6,017 auto burglaries a year. The data
reveals several reporting districts have the highest number of burglarized vehicles. Throughout the
City, some of the specific areas that are targeted by thieves are strip malls, motels, large apartment
complexes, night clubs, and high tourist areas.
The Port Authority of Corpus Christi has a major container shipping facility that ships 800,000
pound 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 one of the largest Ports in tonnage, primarily in importation and
exportation of petroleum products in the United States. Each year the Port Authority of Corpus
Christi expands 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. The Port of Corpus Christi has been surveying other avenues of exportation with
other foreign countries.
In addition, there are specific problematic areas in Corpus Christi and surrounding areas that need to
be addressed. Auto thieves are targeting vehicles such as Ford products, Chevrolet trucks SUV's
and trailers. 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 and supervisors 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 and Nueces County has a population of 320,000 and covers an area of
847 square miles. 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 faun machinery and
construction vehicles generally end up in Mexico or Guatemala).
c. We have a team of 6 sworn police officers working both proactively and reactively on cases /
investigations. During the previous grant year, the auto theft investigators with the assistance of
civilian personnel had conducted 31 salvage yard inspections. As a result of these salvage yard
inspections, 431 vehicles were inspected. This amount contributed to the overall recovery of 9.1
million for the entire 2007-2008 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 Task Forces when cases are jointly being
investigated. Currently, we share valuable information such as investigative leads and data that our
agency generates with other area agencies in a combined effort to solve cases. This combined effort
A DTDA 7A
between our agency and other surrounding law 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 are being
utilized is the BSM bait vehicles at high auto theft areas, "chop shop" investigations, salvage yard
inspections, surveillance of auto thieves, 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.
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, bait operations, and stake
outs for possible suspects. The proactive approach to this gateway crime has proven to be a success
in capturing the unsuspecting criminal or criminals. The benefits aze shown in how much auto
thefts have gone down in Corpus Christi since the inception of this grant.
e. The below information represents the top reporting districts in which auto burglary is occurring.
This information will be used to designate the most crucial areas of town to set up the bait vehicle
with GPS and computer generated surveillance.
Most Frequent Location:
1. Beat C40, Div 3039 (Greenwood, Ho11y, Ayers, S.P.LD.)
• Starplex Theater, Buffalo Wild Wings, Wal-Mart, Texas Roadhouse
2. Beat C60, Div 4052 (Kostoryz, Saratoga, Weber, Holly)
• Waterford Apartments, Paradise Bay Apartments
3. Beat C60, Div 5062 (Weber, Tiger, Flynn, S.P.I.D)
• Four Winds Apartments, Cracker Barrel, Embassy Suites Hotel
4. Beat B20, Div 5090 (Staples, Saratoga, Cimarron, Wooldridge)
• Saratoga Cove Apartments, Christus Spohn Hospital, Extended Stay Deluxe
5. Beat B30, Div 5099 (Staples, Yorktown, Cimazron, Saratoga)
• The Reserve Apartments, Arbors Apartments, Gulf Breeze Apartments
Several awareness campaigns and educational programs have been formulated and implemented to
educate our young and older individuals in the community. Public awareness programs will target
and educate with the HEAT program, Watch Your Car program, VIN etching and a special focus on
auto burglaries. We will be focusing strongly on apartment complexes and retail azeas due to the
escalating auto thefts and burglazies occurring in those azeas. The plate reader will be used to assist
in detecting stolen vehicles out in the field. The plate reader can read 3000 license plates an hour.
We will be tazgeting the high crime areas with this piece of equipment.

i. Continuously update offender database, minimum 5 per month
j. Conduct quarterly intelligence sharing with patrol officers.
k. Perform 120 68-A inspections
b. Describe the proposed activities of the project. Include any quantifiable data by
which project activities can be measured.
- Conduct 80 bait vehicle operations per year.
- The Team will conduct 30 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
information 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.
- Conduct 12 highway operations and deploy license plate reader to try and find stolen Silt/ and
ATV thefts.
- 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.
With this data, the Crime Analyst will generate reports which indicate the reporting districts with
the highest auto theft rate. This information will be distributed to the Auto Theft Unit and Patrol.
The Crime Analyst will produce a daily, weekly and monthly 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 increase of auto burglaries. 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, movie screen advertisements, bill inserts, water bill
messages and booths at community events. The campaign will also coordinate with existing
community programs 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 Investigative Specialist will maintain and update the auto theft Intranet system with new auto
thieves and their modus approndi (MO).
- The Investigative Specialist will continue to create and update new databases to help and serve the
officers. (For example: auction vehicles, dealerships, insurance agencies, and apartment
complexes)
- 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 Vehicles Stolen
Value of Parts recovered
Miscellaneous property recovered
Number of salvage yard inspections
Number of training classes provided
Uniform Crime Report motor vehicle thefr

Number of vehicles reached through PA
c. Describe how the project will impact the stated problem.
Through the implementation of the above strategies we will accomplish the following:
- 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 daily, weekly, and monthly lists of stolen /
recovered vehicles on particular beats for the officers in the field.
- The team of civilians will also send daily lists of stolen reports to Department of Public Safety.
- The public awareness campaign will tazget drivers who-leave doors unlocked or their belongings
in plain view to help combat auto burglaries as well as to educated drivers on auto theft. The
campaign is geared towards also promoting the HEAT program, VIN etching program, You Hold
the Key, as well as the Watch Your Car Program. Public awareness programs will promote
awazeness at apartment complexes, shopping centers, convenience stores, and many other
entities. We will also be using a tool called PC, the patrol car, to promote awareness.
- The task force will focus their efforts on individuals that commonly burglarize and steal vehicles
to keep our numbers on the decrease.
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 Investigative Specialist. The entire group works in a team-based environment.
A DTDA 7C
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 100 presentations in the community to provide information on Auto Theft and Burglary
Prevention. We will conduct 1 auto theft intelligence sharing session throughout the year. We
will do press releases, public service announcements and interviews as needed. The public
awazeness campaign will utilize existing and new methods and strategies for community
education and involvement.
We will attempt to prevent auto burglaries by doing the following:
1). Set the bait vehicle with valuables in a high auto burglary area,
2). Promote the message boazd with "Lock your car, Take your keys, and Hide your
belongings."
3). Create new message flyers advising individuals on how to protect themselves from auto
burglaries.
4). ID and observe organized auto burglary crews (family establishments) and gangs
5). Utilize tracking devices to track auto burglars and where they go.
6). Will maintain and update the auto burglary Intranet system with new auto burglary thieves
and their modu operandi (MO).
7.) Utilize CCTV, the City of Corpus Christi cable access channel, to air Auto Burglary and
Auto Theft commercials, as well as informational slides to be put into rotation for the
revolving bulletin board that airs twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.
8.) Provide utility bill inserts of prevention information that will reach approximately 90,000
citizens of Corpus Christi.
9.) Provide a presence at all major local events to provide awareness and VIN etchings.

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 320,000 each of whom could
at one point or another become a victim of motor vehicle theft or of an auto burglary. 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 and motor vehicle dealerships will result in businesses either being closed
or forced to follow state mandated laws to prevent illegal activity, thus preventing citizens from
becoming victims by possibly buying stolen auto parts or misrepresented vehicles.
b. Describe the applicant's experience or qualifications.
The City of Corpus Christi has over 3,600 employees with an annual budget of $588 million. The
Police Department has 448 sworn officers, 232 civilians, and an annual budget of $50 million.
The Police Department currently 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 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 cooperatelcoordinate activities 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.
Several of the officers of the Auto Theft Task Force have been deputized and now have the
jurisdiction to extend their searches throughout Nueces County. 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 in working as a team and by sharing information with other
agencies; we accomplish more in a shorter amount of time.
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 surveillancing prior to him/her committing a series of auto thefts. We consider this
innovative in that it is managing 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
ADTDA 77
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 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, backgrounds, ages, physical abilities,
educational backgrounds, and geographical locations. The diverse range of individuals that the
public awareness programs are geared towards are Senior citizens, college students, high school
young adults, children and individuals involved in the Neighborhood Initiative Programs (NIP).
