0y describe the applicants travel policy (i.e., mileage rates and per diem rates). Specify Purposes
each item of travel. Break out costs of each in-state and each out-of-state trip to separately show the
specific costs of transportation and per diem.
The City Of Beaumont's Travel Policy provides for mileage expense of $0.565 per mile for use of
personal vehicles and variable maximum federal guideline per diem rates. The regular rate is $46 and
will be used unless otherwise noted. The per diem rate will be utilized for all Task Force members
regardless of agency. Mileage expenses for personal vehicle use are not expected. Unless otherwise
noted, hotel rates are figured based on $109 per night, plus 15% tax — totaling ($125.35) $126 per night.
This figure was used since it has been a common government rate that the ABTPA has secured in the
past.
This year it is anticipated, that as in the past, one of the ABTPA Board Meetings will be held in
conjunction with the ABTPA Grant Application/PublicAwarenessworkshop and another in conjunction with the
annual ABTPA summit. Attendance at the Board Meetings is vital to staying informed of new policies and
initiatives. In addition to representing our Task Force and the ABTPA, attending the conference and
summit will provide our investigators with updated training, as well as an opportunity to network with
other regional vehicle crime investigators.
All travel expenses for the 2016 grant year listed as a cash match will be funded with Program Income
provided it is available. If Program Income resources are insufficient to cover expenses Travel will either
be paid for by the individual agencies or cancelled.

Oder to increase public awareness the task force maintains one highway billboard sign. The sign is
p_.,odically moved to different locations within the project area providing the coverage area with a constant
reminder to be wary of auto thieves and burglars. Depending on the location of its placement the sign
generates an estimated 800,000 to 1.8 million impressions per month. The monthly cost of displaying the sign
is $500 per month. The task force also maintains a kiosk display at one of the area malls at a rate of $250 per
month. The kiosk features a television that plays a continuous loop video warning the public of the risks
associated with leaving keys or valuables in their vehicle. The kiosk also features a static display of items

Problem Statement& Historical Information
b.•
Provide an assessment of the auto theft and burglary problem in the areas of coverage and
existing activities that address the problem. Identify the target population and the geographical
target area.
The Task Force provides a multi-agency effort to reduce auto related crimes within Jefferson,
Orange, Hardin and Jasper Counties. The counties have a combined population of 432,103 with
more than half of the residents living in Jefferson County.The Task Force is staffed with personnel
from the Beaumont and Port Arthur Police Departments and the Jefferson and Hardin County
Sherriff's Offices.
According to TxDOT there are 409,169 vehicles registered in the four counties in 2014. As with
population, more than half were in Jefferson County which is primarily urban and suburban areas.
Orange County accounts for more than one fifth of the total and is primarily suburban and rural in
nature. Jasper and Hardin Counties split the remaining vehicles registered and are markedly more
rural with most areas being heavily wooded.
The Task force has been actively combating auto thefts since it was formed.Through thorough
investigation, development of suspects, crime prevention awareness and education along with
the use of surveillance, covert patrol, bait vehicle operations and the inspection of salvage
operations and repair shops Task Force personnel have done their best to impact auto related
41) crimes.
Despite these efforts, auto related crimes continue to be a major problem with a significant
economic impact. There were still nearly 800 vehicles stolen and more than 2000 vehicles
burglarized in 2014 within the project area.
b. Describe the extent to which this project will duplicate or overlap existing activities, and why that
(if any) is necessary.
There are no other auto crime task forces or projects within the stated coverage area. As such, this
project will not duplicate any other ABTPA grant funded activities. Four of the twenty-one agencies in the
covered counties directly participate in the program including the three largest, the Beaumont Police
Department, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and Port Arthur Police Department. For perspective in 2014
the four agencies represented in the Task Force accounted for 58% of reported UUMVs and 71% of
reported BMVs within the coverage area. The largest agency and primary recipient of grant funds
accounted for 28% of reported UUMVs and 50% of reported BMVs during that same period.
c. Describe and document trends of the problem and the need that makes this grant necessary.
Despite a steady decline in auto thefts since 1993, the crime continues to have a significant
impact on the local economy. A decreased sense of security and increased insurance premiums
• are two areas directly affected by auto crimes.
Unfortunately many stolen vehicles are not recovered; some are leaving the area; others are sold
for scrap. Increased value of recycled metal has forced us to look more closely at the industry.
With a large number of recyclers in the area, considerable time must be devoted to dealing with
05/19/2015 Page 18 of 29
Automobile Burglary &Theft Prevention Authority
Organization:Beaumont 2016-T01-City of-00002
Problem Statement& Historical Information
these businesses and coordinating with other law enforcement and regulatory agencies.
IIIWhile fewer vehicles are stolen, the percentage taken with keys left in them seems to continually
rise. Public awareness and education are the best tools to impact this problem and are the same
tools used to combat auto burglaries. Our efforts to increase awareness and education must be
sustained, fortified and improved.
Auto burglaries and thefts are still significant problems that require an organized response that is
preemptive as well as responsive. By investigating reported crime, developing suspects,
arresting and prosecuting offenders, together with innovative public awareness and education
initiatives, creative bait and covert operations and tenacious attention to scrap yards, salvage
operators and repair shops the Task Force can impact auto related crimes in a positive way.

b. Describe how the project will impact the stated problem.
The project will impact the stated problem by providing specific activities aimed at the reduction and prevention of
auto related crimes.
- Public awareness and crime prevention activities including billboard advertising are meant to educate the public
about how to prevent crime. These efforts should make the public more wary of criminals and less likely to be
victimized.
- Public awareness presentations are also designed to educate the public on the prevention of crime as well as to
identify for them ways in which they can assist law enforcement in combating these crimes.
- The Task Force website and Facebook page will continue to make the Task Force more accessible to the public
and aid in the dissemination information on auto theft and burglary prevention.
- Bait, surveillance and sting operations aim to apprehend criminals in the act and provide for effective
prosecution of those arrested.
• - Conducting salvage and repair inspections will educate those operating in these areas and encourage them to
obey related laws. These inspections are also likely to lead to the location of stolen property and in turn to
development of suspects, arrests and prosecution of criminals.
- Utilizing the Task Force license plate reader will directly lead to the locating of stolen vehicles, suspects and
05/19/2015 Page 20 of 29
Automobile Burglary&Theft Prevention Authority
Organization:Beaumont 2016-T01-City of-00002
leads related to the theft.
- Actively participating in information sharing will lead to the identification of trends and areas to be targeted as
• well as possible suspects and leads that otherwise may have gone undiscovered.
Mailings sent to victims of auto crimes that have been inactivated will use promotional material to inform them of
ways to avoid being victimized in the future as well as provide one final request for leads.
- Sweeps of locations commonly used as dumping sites for stolen vehicles such as canals, canal banks, trails,
alleys and wooded areas lead directly to the recovery of stolen vehicles and dissuade criminals from using the
area for such purposes.
c. Describe proposed plan for auto theft crime prevention, education and training.
Crime prevention and training can be broken down into efforts to educate the public through media, efforts to
educate the public through direct contact and the training of law enforcement personnel. The Task Force's Public
Awareness Officer will direct Task Force efforts to impact these three areas. He will act as liaison to members of the
press and will actively seek opportunities to spread the Task Force's crime prevention message; he will energetically
pursue opportunities to reach the public through speaking engagements and personal appearances at community
events; and he will enthusiastically teach law enforcement officers to hone their skills with regard to recognizing
stolen vehicles, trailers, boats and heavy equipment. The Task Force will also maintain the www.watchyourcars.com
website, the Task Force Facebook page, a highway billboard displaying an ABTPA endorsed sign and an
informational display at a local mall.

Functions of Proposed Project
*unctions of the project should:
lantify the service needs to be met by the project and the applicant's experience or qualifications.
Describe how this project will cooperate/coordinate activities with other appropriate agencies/projects.
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 public relies on police for investigation of crimes, identification and arrest of suspects, and crime
prevention. Through investigation, surveillance, bait and sting operations combined with public awareness and
education this task force provides these services as they relate to auto crimes within the stated service area.
Task Force investigators are specifically responsible for investigating auto related crimes reported
to the participating agencies, but will also investigate or assist with the investigation of any of these
crimes upon the request of other agencies within the project area. The Task Force also provides the
primary resource for VTR68-A inspections within the four county coverage area as well as to numerous
surrounding counties. Further, public awareness efforts and law enforcement training target the
entire grant coverage area.
In addition to the services provided directly to the public, the Task Force regularly provides assistance to local
law enforcement agencies, insurance investigators and DMV and TxDOT personnel. Whether assisting arson
investigators identifying burned vehicles, inspecting vehicles with suspicious looking VINs for patrol officers or
helping other detectives serve warrants on crossover investigations, Task Force Investigators are always happy
to lend their expertise and give their support.
OTa s k Force has been on the leading edge of the fight against auto related crimes since its inception being
one of the first to host a comprehensive web site and to have a Facebook page. The Task Force embraces
training and strives to give every member of the community fair and culturally sensitive service. Additionally,
most information disseminated is provided in a multilingual format. Further, project activities are based on
problems identified through thorough analysis allowing for easy recognition of culturally sensitive issues.

Evaluation Design
likrogram evaluation should indicate how the applicant will assess the sucess of the project and the extent to
NA,,,,ch the strategy achieved the project's goals and objectives.
a. Describe the design of a plan for local evaluation of this project.
The local evaluation process establishes accountability and measurement of progress through collection
of data and information throughout the chain of command. Investigators are required to keep activity logs
and submit monthly reports to the Project Director. In addition to these reports the Task Force's Public
Awareness Officer submits a monthly Activity Report to the Project Director for review while the
Inspections Officer submits detailed reports on all salvage and repair shop inspections.The Task Force
Supervisor reviews cases and monitors the activities of investigators. The Project Director maintains
records of all activity and spending and reports periodically to the Task Force's Board of Directors,
which is comprised of the department heads of the participating agencies.
b. Cite relevant data that will be used to measure the effectiveness of this project.
UCR data for all agencies within the project area will be closely monitored to determine the overall
impact of Task Force efforts. Personal activity logs and specific reports will be maintained to log
progress on stated objectives. These include information detailing such things as the number of bait
operations, inspections and public awareness initiatives performed. They will also record other items
like arrests made, cases filed and vehicles recovered.
• Describe the mechanism to evaluate the programs progress.
Progress of the program will be evaluated monthly. Each investigator will complete a monthly report
based on ABTPA reporting categories and the specific objectives of this grant.Each report will be
accompanied by documentation supporting the information given. The Project Director will then compile
that information into the monthly Progress Report submitted to the ABTPA. The Project Director will also
periodically report on the programs progress to the Task Force Board of Directors.

Each month Task Force investigators submit a monthly report detailing the number of cases
involving motor vehicle theft that they are assigned to investigate, the number of arrests
made in relation to those cases, the number of cases filed, cleared, unfounded and
inactivated. Yearly totals are compiled using these reports. Personnel only count cases that
they are personally assigned and arrests that they are involved in making. Also, each month
1.1.20 UCR stats are collected from each agency within the Task Force coverage area.This is the

Narrative
• As with motor vehicle theft cases, burlary of motor vehicle cases are currently tracked along
with dispositions as are arrests affected in relation to the cases with the same monthly
report. Yearly totals are compiled using these reports. Along with the UCR stats that are
collected from each agency within the Task Force coverage area for motor vehicle theft, stats
for the number of BMVs are also obtained.Task Force personnel began collecting these stats
when the ABTPA was tasked with the reduction of auto burglaries some years back. As with
motor vehicle theft they provide a benchmark from which progress can be noted.

• 1 REDUCE THE INCIDENCE OF MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT THROUGH ENFORCEMENT STRATEGIES.
Strategy 1
1.1 Conduct Activities that Result in the Arrest, Clearance, and Recoveries of Motor Vehicle Theft
Task Force investigators routinely identify individuals and groups linked to auto crimes. An offender
database will be maintained and continually updated. Investigators will identify no less than three
individuals classified as prolific offenders and three groups with multiple offenders working
together. The Task Force does own and operate an LPR system that is used to search for stolen
vehicles. The system, however, is getting old and is no longer under wanaty.Therefore Task Force
personnel will deploy the reader on a minimum of twelve times (ideally at least once a month)
provided it is available. If it is not available personnel are able to use a system belonging to one of
the participating agencies.Task Force personnel will collaborate with District Attorneys' offices on
average of twice monthly for a yearly total of twenty-four times to promote a good working
relationship, ensure that cases are well suited to the prosecutors needs and to make prosecutors
aware of significant issues such as a history of repaet offenses. By conducting inspections of salvage
yards, repair shops and recycling centers investigators hope to proactively uncover criminal activity
and stolen property related to auto crimes. Inspections also serve to disuade criminal activity by
limiting the oportunities available to criminals.Task Force personnel will conduct thirty salvage
inspections and seventy five repair shop/recycling center/used car dealership inspections
throughout the year. Bait operations are another proactive means to identify criminals and gather
evidence for their prosecution. Each bait operation is typically set up to target both motor vehicle
theft and theft from a motor vehicle, but ocassionaly may be taylored specifically to target one or
• the other. Task Force personnel will conduct at least eighteen bait operations during the year
targetting motor vehicle theft. Each operation targetting both MVT and BMV will be counted in both
catagories. Any operations targetting just one catagory will be counted only in that catagory. Other
covert operations targeting MVT are not uncommon, but are oportunity based.Task Force members
will ensure that at least four of these operations will be conducted for the year.Warrant "roundup"
operations will be conducted twice yearly. Investigators will develop a list of outstanding warrants
for auto related crimes or other crimes committed by prolific auto crimes offenders and designate a
time where manpower will be devoted to serving them.

impacting crime, members will also collaborate with law enforcement units responsible for
investigation of gateway crimes, agencies/organizations that assist in the reduction of
motor vehicle thefts at least on a monthly basis for a yearly total of twelve times.
Investigators will also collaborate on investigations involving stolen parts or other property
at least twelve times during the yaer. Inteligence information sharing will be conducted on
a weekly basis for a minimum of fifty-two times per year. This will be accomplished by
attending shift briefings of local agencies, disseminating bulletins, attending intelligence

collaborate with agencies investigating vehicle insurance fraud at a minimum of twelve
times during the year. Investigators will also coordinate with TxDMV/local tax offices a
minimum of six times during the year with regard to fraudulent titles and registration of
stolen vehicles. Currently investigators conduct approximately 100 68(A)/VIN verification
inspections a month. It is impossible to project however how long the overwhelming
demand for these inspections will continue. With that in mind, investigators will preform at
a minimum fifty inspections per month for a yearly total of at least 600.

Bait operations targetting BMVs will be conducted at least 18 times during the year. As
noted in Goal 1, most bait operations are designed to target both MVTs and BMVs. Any
operation targetting both will be counted in both places. Ocasionally operations are
designed targetting one or the other. They will be counted in only the catagory that is
appropriate. Warrant "round up" operations are also typically inclusive of MVTs and BMVs.
The Task Force will conduct at least two of these operations during the year. Task Force
investigators routinely identify individuals and groups linked to auto crimes. An offender
database will be maintained and continually updated. Investigators will identify no less
than six individuals classified as prolific offenders. By conducting inspections of salvage
yards, repair shops and recycling centers investigators hope to proactively uncover criminal

Gaining the assistance of the public in the fight against auto crimes is paramount to
reducing auto burglaries. The media is an invaluable tool in spreading the ABTPA word
throughout the region. Media interviews are conducted as informational situations
dictate, however, a minimum of four press releases shall be issued. In addition at least six
presentations will be made to citizen related academies or civic groups. Task Force
personnel conduct vehicle report card initiatives regularly. These initiatives give feedback
to drivers on the vulnerability of their vehicle to being broken into. Initiatives will be
conducted at least until 200 report cards are issued.The Task Force will also continue to
maintain its website and Facebook page throughout the year. Furthermore,the unit will
attempt to maintain an informational billboard for all 12 months of the year.

MEMORANDUM
POLICE DEPARTMENT
PORT ARTHUR
TO: PATROL SUPERVISORS AND OFFICERS DATE: 8-15-15
FROM: MAJOR R. CLARK
[ ] For your information [X] Please take appropriate action
[ ] For comment & recommendation [ ] Please prepare draft for my reply
[X] File for future reference [ ] Please reply on my behalf
[ ] Please discuss with me [ ] Please return
In meeting with representatives from Child Protective Service (CPS) the agenda
was to talk and discuss ways in which we could assist each other in criminal
cases especially in their priority one cases where is there an allegation of
physical or sexual abuse of a child. These priority cases require CPS to initiate
an investigation with 24 hours. It is well known by both agencies the more rapid
the response the higher chance of keeping the child safe, identifying witnesses,
suspect(s), finding a crime scene, securing the crime scene and collecting
evidence. It is the belief the solution to this lies in both CPS and PAPD working
more closely together and therefore, the following is being recommended.
*When a CPS worker receives a priority one case (physical or sexual abuse
of a child) the worker will contact law enforcement (dispatch) to start the joint
investigation.
Should the patrol officer find a need for assistance from the sexual
assault detectives, the Patrol Supervisor will be notified. The Patrol
Supervisor will contact one of the sexual assault detectives directly as per
memo. Should the Patrol Supervisor be unable to make contact with
neither of the sexual assault detectives the Patrol Supervisor will contact
CID Supervisor for assistance.
The patrol officer should receive a copy of the CPS report which contains
CPS' case number. The patrol officer will write PAPD's case number on
the CPS report and forward it along with his supplement to detectives.
The officer will give the CPS worker the case number so that she can
follow up with CID on which detective has been assigned the case.
*When a CPS worker receives a priority two cases (requires attention within 72
hours), if the worker believes there is a possible criminal offense the worker will
contact law enforcement (dispatch) and an officer will make a report to be
forwarded to detectives.
Respectfully,
MAJOR R. CLARK
