Provide a high level summary to the application and how It will affect the local community.(500 words or less) Since 1993, the Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force has continued to provide a multi-agency, multi jurisdictional effort to combat,reduce,prevent, end address auto-related crimes within Jefferson, Orange, Hardin, and Jasper Counties for nearly 29 years as an original grantee of what is now the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority.According to 2019 Census estimates, the counties have a combined population of over 428,000 folks with nearly 60%residing in Jefferson County. The Task Force is staffed by sworn personnel from Beaumont Police Department, Port Arthur Police Department, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, and Hardin County Sheriffs Office. TXDOT notes that there were about 378,000 vehicles registered within our four-county coverage area in 2020. Corresponding to the population—a reduction that may be due to registration leniency during COVID-19 shutdowns. More than half were in Jefferson County, which Is a mixture of urban, suburban, and rural areas with Beaumont being the largest and most urban.As an interstate 10 corridor, Beaumont rivals Houston in crime per capita and categorically mirrors it in similar ways. Orange County is mostly suburban with some rural areas whereas Jasper and Hardin Counties are markedly more rural than suburban and more heavily wooded than its counterparts. Through thorough investigations, development of suspects, executing search warrants, surveillance, covert patrol, bait vehicle operations, Inspections of salvage and repair businesses, and, assisting with crime prevention awareness and education, Task https:llmvcpa.tamu.edufNegotiation/TFGPrintApplication.asp7APPIO=1858 6/16 10/4/21,2:18 PM MVCPA Taskforce Grant Negotiation Force personnel have done their best to positively Impact our communities by committed efforts to reduce the occurrences of auto- related crimes. Despite these efforts, auto-related crimes continue to be a major problem with a significantly negative economic impact that includes both personal and business financial losses. The crime rate also affects a city reputation that leads to both business and population re-locations and avoidance. Within the four-county project area over the most recent biennium,there were still nearly 1900 vehicles stolen and over 4000 vehicles burglarized. For both auto burglaries and auto thefts, the coverage area typically falls within the top 20 regions in Texas whore this grant is needed most. 1.2 Describe the taskforce governing,organization and command structures. Include a description of the nature of support and agreements that will be in place if the grant is awarded. Provide any details unique to the taskforce organization or geographical target area.Describe whether any part of this grant will be directed to serve a specific target population(or subset of the community)? The Taskforce is governed by adherence to an interlocal contract signed by either the city manager or the county judge who represents each jurisdiction with a participating law enforcement agency.As stipulated in the contract, each individual agency maintains control of,and liability for,its own employee(s)and Is solely responsible for the actions and omissions of its employee(s). Each participating city or county assures compliance with MCVPA regulations,policies,guidelines, and requirements as well as any applicable laws. Each participating licensed, sworn investigator is first accountable to his or her home(hiring)agency, its policies and procedures, and any training related to general law enforcement or required by the State of Texas. Within the Taskforce,regardless of rank at participating home agency, the command structure begins with the Taskforce Commander, followed by a Taskforce Supervisor, and then investigators or Detectives who carry out specific tasks,operations, or assignments individually and/or as a group;serve as lead Investigators on cases within their agency jurisdiction;and, assist other investigators on cases within coverage jurisdiction. The Commander Is a Beaumont Police Lieutenant who also serves as Program Director. The Taskforce Supervisor is a Beaumont PD Sergeant who also serves as Program Manager. The geographical target area is Jefferson, Orange, Hardin, and Jasper Counties, which includes all the municipalities therein. Grant Problem Statement 2.1 Provide an assessment of the burglary from a motor vehicle(including theft of parts)problem in the coverage area of this application. Include loss data consistent with the reported incident numbers above. According to the National incident-Based Reporting System(NIBRS), the covered region of the Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force had more than 4000 auto burglaries(and theft of parts) with estimated losses of nearly$3.5 million during the most recent biennium(2019-2020). Burglary of a Motor Vehicle and Theft of Property and Parts from a Motor Vehicle are a substantial problem in the Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force Project area. In 2019 there were a total of 2,103 auto burglaries reported in the coverage area and respectively 1,911 auto burglaries in 2020. These auto burglaries claim property and weapons, which when replaced cost the average citizen, who like most, are still trying to recover from the economic impacts to their families and way of life,post Covid-19 Pandemic lock-down. This coupled with the tremendous upsurge in thefts of parts, specifically catalytic converters, has proved to have a large economic and detrimental effect on citizens and businesses. Typically, in the past, the catalytic converter thefts had been focused on businesses that usually maintained a fleet of vehicles that were In parking lots after business hours. The actor(s) could take numerous converters and be fairly certain that they would not be interrupted. These types of thefts would cripple a business that required the vehicles to provide their service and/or perform their duties in their respective industry. This along with the astronomical cost of replacing the converters could potentially ruin a business, especially coming out of the Covid-19 Pandemic, which had already put a huge strain on local businesses anyway. The Catalytic Converter thieves have now moved to targeting vehicles everywhere to include residential driveways, and public parking lots and streets. The economic impact of these thefts is felt by hardworking everyday citizens, who also suffered during the Pandemic. Offenses involving auto-related burglaries and thefts seem to occur randomly at a steady pace without any identifiable trends, but when they do occur, they typically are episodic with multiple victims.Although windows are still shattered primarily due to visible valuables, the most prevalent method of operation is simply pulling on handles of unlocked doors with little to no suspect evidence left behind. Consequently, it is highly likely that this crime occurs at a much higher rate than reported. In Beaumont, the vast majority of the guns stolen in auto burglaries are still from unlocked cars, keeping pace with the 89%of 2018. When firearms and credit cards are stolen, there is a ripple effect that includes a myriad of additional crimes against both persons and property. Solving these crimes has become more challenging, forcing us to rely even more on a vigilant public,proactive patrolling, video surveillance, and bait operations. In some circumstances, due to poor prosecution, recidivist suspects can be successfully identified during Investigations initially based on the area of town they tend to frequently burglarize. Offenders are more creative, organized, evasive, and brazenly violent in their predatory theft activities('jugging') when victims are stalked and followed to or from banks or after instances of large purchases at retail establishments. Whether it is due to the fluid circumstances at the time of the offense or to the impromptu impatience of the offender, what used to be considered only a property crime has escalated into aggravated robberies and even murder. We know statistically that many guns are stolen from vehicles and more suspects are being arrested in possession of guns. Consequently, auto burglars should not be perceived in the vein of harmless, vehicular pickpockets. In 2019, a Beaumont citizen was murdered by an auto burglar that he confronted. The pervasive problem is worsened by the lack of aggressive prosecution of misdemeanor auto burglaries. However, even when we manage to file felonies, we find the system failing its citizenry.For example in 2019, the SETATTF filed four felonious Theft of Firearm cases(from auto burglaries)on a problematic recidivist to which the DA responded by offering a plea 2 years of probation. As expected, once released, the defendant continued his crimes in two of our covered counties. Our efforts to communicate persuasively with local District Attorney Offices are regularly re-doubled, but it can be foreseen that the possible Inclusion of a https:l/mvcpa.tamu.edu/NegotiationfTFGPriniApplication.asp7AppID=1858 7/16 10/4/21,2:18 PM MVCPA Taskforce Grant Negotiation prosecutorial element in a future grant may reap rewards. Unfortunately, the timing, interest, and funding never seems to be right for such a modification as Law Enforcement struggles during difficult times. The three-year average for motor vehicle burglaries (including theft of parts)typically falls within the top twenty in Texas where grant funding is needed most. 2.2 Provide an assessment of the motor vehicle theft problem in the coverage area of this application. include loss data consistent with the reported Incident numbers above. According to the National Incident-Based Reporting System(NIBRS), the covered region of the Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force had nearly 1900 auto thefts with estimated losses of over$21.3 million during the most recent biennium(2019-2020). Motor Vehicle thefts are a considerable problem in the Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force Project area. In 2019 there were a total of 900 auto thefts reported in the coverage area and respectively 996 auto thefts in 2020. These auto thefts cause formidable economic impact on the citizens and businesses of the community. This community, not unlike the rest of the State and Nation,is still recovering from worldwide Pandemic and the economic downturn which has affected the Southeast Texas region and the petrochemical Industry along with supporting service industries, specifically.Motor Vehicle Theft costs everyone,Individuals who are directly affected by having their vehicles stolen,businesses who have vehicles stolen and cannot operate the business efficiently due to the loss and those who pay the higher insurance premiums due to the increase in the thefts of motor vehicles. There Is also the peripheral Issue of additional crimes committed by those who perpetrate the thefts. These crimes are wide ranging and include Auto Burglaries, other thefts,robberies, assaults, drug and human trafficking,ATM thefts all the way up to and including Homicide. This crime is truly a gateway crime to more harmful acts and crimes against society making the world a more dangerous place. Reducing the incidence of Motor Vehicle Theft has a huge ripple effect and even looking at Just the "Chop Shop" as an example. This type of criminal operation creates "Criminal Employment"for numerous offenders. The criminal enterprise will have actors that steal vehicles,actors that part the vehicles out, actors that sell and fence the parts,and fund other criminal enterprises with the proceeds, which could Include drugs and human trafficking. This is all perpetuated on the backs of Innocent citizens, who are just trying to make a living for their families. By reducing and disrupting motor vehicle thefts, many potential crimes are averted and countless lives and dollars are saved. Overall, the Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force has experienced steady declines in auto thefts since its 1993 inception when the Beaumont area had hit a national high of nearly 2800 In a single year(1992).A hollow celebration at best. In contrast to Its astronomical beginning, the Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force region has never reached such a ceiling again. Unfortunately, crime continues to occur and the taskforce continues to battle as our averages typically fall within the top twenty locations In Texas. it becomes a matter of maintenance and hopefully, some prevention is involved in the steadier statistics. in addition to use of violence, auto thieves still regularly devise new, creative ways to steal vehicles for investigators to discover, but many are still facilitated by careless owners and completely preventable. Nowadays, vehicles cost more than a house did several decades ago. The investment in vehicles is ever-increasing and therefore, the auto thefts have an ever-increasing impact on insurance premiums and the local economy. Auto thefts are often a prerequisite to additional crimes and serve as getaway vehicles to help mask identities during additional criminal activity.Autos are still targets for the more violent robberies(car jacking)and the larger stolen trucks have been used for ramming Into buildings for burglaries as well used to pull out ATMs. Stolen vehicles are notably believed to be used more in human trafficking.Although not all vehicles are recovered,many are recovered in a location outside the jurisdiction where the vehicles were originally stolen. This fact, in itself,is reason enough to assist neighboring agencies and to collaborate in efforts to linking recovery locations to possible suspects and/or larger organized crime operations. 2.3 Provide an assessment of the fraud-related motor vehicle crime problem in the coverage area of this application. Include loss data consistent with the reported Incident numbers above. • The Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force, for the most part, has dealt mainly with vehicle title frauds, insurance fraud and ViN Fraud. Though these crimes are not prevalent,they do occur in the coverage area, however tracking them accurately is a problem, both within the Beaumont Police Department and within agencies inside the project coverage area. Fraud-Related Motor Vehicle Crime, as conveyed in the data listed above, is not reported as motor vehicle related, due to the Records Management System • and the classification of"Fraud". The numbers that can be accessed relate mainly to conventional fraud and forgery offenses and are not motor vehicle specific. Therefore, thousands of reports would have to be read in their entirety to determine if the cases • involved motor vehicles, thereby making research into the number of actual motor vehicle related fraud cases impractical. Records kept by the task force in the last 2 grant years indicate that there were 12 Investigations involving registration, titles and insurance in 2019 and 12 in 2020. These investigations did not result in reports or cases filed. They were inquiries involving tax offices and insurance companies. The Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force is currently working with the Beaumont Police Department's Record Management Division in an attempt to develop adaptations to the "Fraud Classification"in RMS to include specific Fraud- Related Motor Vehicle crimes;Title Fraud, Registration Fraud, insurance Fraud, Odometer Fraud, ViN Fraud and Identity Fraud Sales and Synthetic Identity Sales, by statute citation or other means, that will be National Incident-Based Reporting System (NiBRS) compliant. The first step to developing these additional data classifications for the reporting system will be to see if It is possible to add the sub-classifications to the reporting system for specific vehicular fraud crimes. if it is possible, the second step will be to train sworn and civilian personnel on the process of how to enter the information when reports are made and classify them properly, to ensure that the information sought will be captured and accessible after intake into the system. This will be an ongoing trial and error phase of the data collection process, which if successful, could possibly be shared with other agencies in the project area to improve the accuracy of the information that/s accessible from RMS,making research more manageable 2.4 Provide an assessment of motor vehicle crime not covered above like insurance fraud,preventing stolen vehicles from entering Mexico, bridge/port stolen vehicle export crime,disruption of cartels and organized criminal enterprises related to motor vehicle crime,etc... https:l/mvcpa.iamu.edu/Negotiation/TFGPrintApplicatlon.asp?AppID=185& 8/16 10/4/21,2:18 PM MVCPA Taskforce Grant Negotiation The City of Beaumont has the Port of Beaumont at its very heart, downtown very near the City of Beaumont Police Department. The Port of Beaumont has its own Police Department as well as the Jefferson County Marine Unit and the U.S. Coast Guard, which patrols the Port of Beaumont and the Neches and Sabine Rivers. These rivers are the inlets from the Gulf of Mexico which actually puts the Port of Beaumont, 42 miles inland and it is still a deep water Port. The Port of Beaumont Is also served by three rail carriers, BNSF, Kansas City Southern and Union Pacific. The Port of Beaumont Is primarily a bulk cargo port, meaning very few If any vehicles go through the port for transport. The vehicles that do go through the port are almost exclusively U.S. Military vehicles. The Port of Beaumont Is one of the main ports in the nation used for Military equipment transportation due to its location on the Gulf of Mexico and it is the Headquarters for the U.S.Army's 842nd Transportation Battalion, which specializes in port logistics.Due to the distance from the border and the type of cargo shipped and transported through the Port of Beaumont;namely bulk cargo such as breakbulk,project, heavy lift, rolling stock, agricultural goods, metal articles, wind energy,paper/pulp products and military equipment, the issue of vehicles leaving for or arriving from Mexico is not a problem. The Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force has a good working relationship with the Port of Beaumont Police es well as the Jefferson County Sheriffs Office Marine Unit. Those respective entities will call upon the task force if needed on any vehicle that my be of questionable origin and/or destination. Grant Goals and Activities There are two parts to this section: 1)Functions of Proposed Program and 2)Goals Strategies and Activities(GSA). In the following boxes,describe the functions of the proposed program and then complete a fillable form called GSA. MVCPA programs must completely describe the actions, methods and tactics that law enforcement and civilian staff will perform for each of the categories below. Describe the reliance on technology or other program elements to solve the problem statement above and goals below. Functions must be detailed and consistent with the requested budget. If a grant Is awarded,funds expended towards activities not described in this section will result in the reimbursement being denied. Part 1 3.1 Functions of the proposed program related to burglary from a motor vehicle(including theft of parts) The objective of the program will be to reduce the incidence of Burglary of a Motor Vehicle and Theft of Property and Parts from a Motor Vehicle. The Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force proposes to combat the dilemma of Burglary of a Motor Vehicle and Theft of Parts from a Motor Vehicle by employing the following approaches and actions to address the problem: -identify Offenders and Prolific Offenders-Collaborate with Other Law Enforcement Agencies and District Attorneys'Offices-Law Enforcement and Community Educational and Awareness Presentations The Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force will identify and Target Offenders and Prolific Offenders involved in the crimes. These actors will be identified through intelligence gained from arrests, Informants, other Law Enforcement Agencies, Surveillance Observations, Bait Vehicle Operations, Repair Shop Inspections, Salvage Yard Inspections, Metal Recycler Inspections and Parts Resale location inspections and Anonymous Tips with corroboration of the Information received. The Task Force will utilize National Data Bases such as Leads-On-Line as well as LPR data-mining to Develop and Identify Offenders. The Offenders will be Targets of investigations based on the Method of the crime, types of Vehicles Burglarized or Theft of Property or Parts occurred,property taken, geographical location of the crime and any information pointing to or linking the offender(s)to the crime(s). The Task Force will utilize covert operations to target offenders of these crimes, to include buying stolen property taken in auto burglaries or thefts of parts, using undercover operatives and bait to target Predatory thefts from Motor Vehicles, such as Jugging". The objective of these investigations will be to Identify, arrest and charge the actors, as well as determining if there is a criminal nexus to any organized criminal enterprises, which would broaden the Investigations to reveal as many offenders as possible. The Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force will Collaborate with Law Enforcement Agencies both in and out of the Project area, to ascertain crime trends,patterns,suspected offenders, recover stolen property and share intelligence. The collaboration will include assisting other law enforcement agencies with Burglary of a Motor Vehicle and theft of Property and Parts from a Motor Vehicle.By doing so crucial intelligence and information can be used to determine if the crimes are being committed by individual or an Organized Criminal Network. The Task Force will also continue the ongoing collaboration with the Juvenile Division of the Beaumont Police Department.Juveniles make up a substantial percentage of offenders In these crimes. Working with the Juvenile Division allows the task force to identify the offenders at the "beginning"of their criminal activities and be aware of the most prolific offenders of the future, barring the offenders have a change in their behavior, which obviously would be the hope for the juvenile, as well as the community. The Task Force will also collaborate with District Attorney's Offices in the affected jurisdictions to help them understand the scope and Importance of the crime(s)and provide additional information or expertise that would aid in the effective prosecution of the offender to provide a positive outcome for the victims and society as a whole. The Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force will also conduct Law Enforcement and Community Education Awareness Presentations/Classes. The purpose of the presentations for Law Enforcement would be to augment their knowledge base with some general and specific auto crimes and current information on trends in auto burglary along with theft of property and parts from a vehicle. The information presented to Law Enforcement officers will deal directly with detection and prevention of auto specific crimes throughout the project area and beyond. This would also allow officers to relay the information to citizens personally and further educate the community about methods to avoid becoming a victim of an auto crime. The Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task force has established a good working relationship and rapport with the community that we have served over that last 29 years. The Community Presentations would be used to strengthen that relationship and establish new contacts. Updated, relevant information would be presented in an effort to educate the community further and to aid them in not becoming a victim of an Auto Crime. 3.2 Functions of the proposed program related to motor vehicle theft.

This could be a set-up for a robbery or worse. The seller already knows/thinks the buyer is in possession of the money for the price of the vehicle and the buyer usually has no idea what the sellers real name is or what they look like. The task force would strive to stress the importance of safety and legality to avoid becoming a victim. 3.5 Functions of the proposed program for other motor vehicle crimes Investigations and activities consistent with the statutory requirements(preventing stolen vehicles from entering Mexico,stopping illegal export of stolen vehicle from bridge/outbound port operations,disruption of cartel or organized criminal enterprises using stolen motor vehicles or fraud related motor vehicle crime, insurance fraud,etc...) The City of Beaumont has the Port of Beaumont at its very heart, downtown very near the City of Beaumont Police Department. The Port of Beaumont has its own Police Department as well as the Jefferson County Marine Unit and the U.S. Coast Guard, which patrol the Port of Beaumont and the Neches and Sabine Rivers.

The Southeast Texas Auto Theft task Force has a working relationship with the Port Police and are rarely if ever called upon by them. This due to the type of cargo that enters and exits the port. The Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force has had numerous cases which have involved cartel or other gang members such as MS- 13, but only as peripheral Investigators.Most of these cases Involved Motor Vehicle Theft, specifically, F-250 or 2500 trucks. The vehicles were usually stolen from more rural areas and most of them were recovered in the Houston area, many times with the seats taken out and some times with illegal aliens running from the vehicles when police attempted to stop them. These trucks were obviously being used for human trafficking, hence the seats taken out to allow more people to fit in the vehicle. The trucks were almost always 4-wheel drive and were most likely going to the border where they were used for transport. Many of the offenders that the task force has arrested or assisted other law enforcement agencies with, when questioned will not admit to affiliation with either the cartel of any other gang. The majority of the crimes involving motor vehicle theft,or fraud related motor vehicle crimes are cases which stem from the Houston area. Due to the distance from the border and the type of cargo shipped and transported through the Port of Beaumont;namely bulk cargo such as breakbulk,project, heavy lift, rolling stock, agricultural https://mvcpa.tamu.edulNegotiationfTFGPrintApplication.asp7AppID=185& 11/16 10/4/21,2:18 PM MVCPA Taskforce Grant Negotiation goods,metal articles, wind energy,paper/pulp products and military equipment, the issue of vehicles leaving for or arriving from Mexico is not a problem.

Those respective entities will call upon the task force if needed on any vehicle that my be of questionable origin and/or destination. 3.6 Collaboration Effort--Describe the taskforce method to collaborate,and not duplicate existing activities. Describe the cross boundaries regional approach to grant activity implementation.Describe how the applicant staff and jurisdiction will coordinate with other taskforces and law enforcement agencies to implement this program. The Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force over its 29 year tenure has established long-running working relationships with all of the law enforcement agencies in the coverage area, as well as taskforces and multiple other law enforcement agencies in the State of Texas. The reputation of the Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force is one of competence, dedication and willingness to help throughout the region,state and even other states. Intelligence sharing and assistance to outside agencies,both in and out of the Project area have forged these relationships and friendships. The Southeast Texas Auto Theft Task Force has always set the bar high and prioritized the relationships, which are reciprocal. The task force will endeavor to be the "Go-To"task force for assistance and expertise in any type of motor vehicle crime, by staying abreast of the latest and most accurate motor crime trends. This expertise extends beyond law enforcement to Judicial agencies as well.
