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 continue a strong proactive and reactive force in the furtherance of the-goal to reduce auto theft and auto burglaries in Corpus Christi. With such a successful program in auto theft reduction, 67% since the inception of the grant in 2001, we will strive for the same successes with auto burglaries. 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. Our public awareness campaign will be very visual in the community through television, radio, 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 techniques.

Problem Statement and Historical Information (See Instructions on page 18) a. Since 2003, the City of Corpus Christi has had an average of 5,554 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 SW's and motorcycles. 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 farm 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, 5.2 million dollars worth of vehicle and vehicle parts were recovered. The auto theft investigators with the assistance of civilian personnel had conducted 17 salvage yard inspections. As a result of these salvage yard inspections, 229 vehicles were inspected. 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 ABTPA 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 between our agency and other surrounding law enforcement agencies has resulted in positive relationships, proactive investigation ABTPA -20 results and several convictions. The task force implemented several proactive techniques to help reduce auto theft. Some of the techniques that are being utilized is the BSM bait vehicles at high auto theft areas, salvage yard inspections, surveillance of auto thieves, and cultivating criminal informants. We continue work with our intranet database which shows auto thieves, their choice of vehicles and methods. 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 are 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.

Goals and Objectives (See Instructions on page 18) a. Describe the specific goals of the project a. File 175 auto theft and auto burglary cases b. Inspect 12 salvage yards c. Work 100 public awareness presentations and events to promote awareness of auto burglaries and auto theft d. Issue 60 crime analysis bulletins and conduct intelligence sharing with patrol. e. Conduct 12 field operations utilizing the license plate reader and other resources. f. Conduct a 1 day intelligence sharing seminar with surrounding agencies to educate detectives, SW's, and other law enforcement agencies about auto thefts and trends in South Texas. g. Initiate 50 bait vehicle operations a year in to include burglary operations h. Continuously update offender database, minimum 5 per month b. Describe the proposed activities of the project. Include any quantifiable data by which project activities can be measured. Conduct 50 bait vehicle operations per year. The Team will conduct 12 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. The number of inspections is limited to one inspection per year per yard. 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, and surveillance. Proactive operations designed to apprehend suspects in the auto thefts and insurance frauds will be conducted. Conduct 12 field operations and deploy license plate reader to try and find stolen vehicles. 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 ABTPA -24 centers, neighborhood on watch programs, area mall parking lots, billboards, TV / radio commercials and programs, newspaper articles, public service announcements, press releases, movie screen advertisements, 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 Criminal Analyst 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 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. With a 25% decrease in auto thefts from 2009 to 2010, and a 67% decrease from the start of the grant, the program proves successful. The project is aimed correctly at fighting crime and educating citizens. We will continue this focus with the following strategies: - 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 public awareness campaign will target auto burglaries as well as educate 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 and You Are Being Shadowed campaigns. Public awareness programs will promote awareness at apartment complexes, shopping centers, convenience stores, and many other entities. - 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. ABTPA -25 e. Describe proposed plan for auto theft prevention, education, and training We believe public awareness plays .a significant role in deterring auto thefts and auto burglaries. With a case study proving these strategies work, we will continue to educate citizens throughout the City of Corpus Christi and Nueces County area on prevention. With almost 4,000 auto burglaries last year, the public awareness campaign has a great potential to reach many vulnerable citizens. We will conduct at least 100 events in the community to provide information on Auto Theft and Burglary .Prevention. We will conduct 1 auto theft intelligence class to be provided free of charge to all law enforcement across the state. We will issue 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. We will attempt to prevent auto burglaries and auto thefts by doing the following: 1). Set the bait vehicle with valuables in high auto burglary areas. 2). Promote the illuminated message board with "Lock your car, Take your keys, and Hide your belongings" along with our promotional wrapped vehicle. 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. 6). 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 presence at all major local events to provide awareness and VIN etchings. 9.) Perform presentations across the city educating citizens on the importance of auto theft and auto burglary prevention. ABTPA -26 AUTOMOBILE BURGLARY & 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 320,000 each of whom could at one point or another become a victim of motor vehicle theft or of an auto burglary. Almost 4,000 cases of auto burglary were reported last year, with such a large number of victims, 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 451 sworn officers, 260 civilians, and an annual budget of $70 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 cooperate /coordinate activities with other appropriate agencies/projects. All of the officers of the Auto Theft Task Force have been deputized and now have the jurisdiction to extend their searches throughout Nueces County. The Corpus Christi Auto Theft task force will continue to work with Customs, DPS, ABTPA Task Forces, and other surrounding law enforcement agencies to reach areas outside Corpus Christi. 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. 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 performing surveillance 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 ABTPA -27 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 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 is senior citizens, college students, high school young adults, and children.
