PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: City Council has approved ordinances accepting Auto Theft Prevention Grants each year beginning in July 2009. BACKGROUND: Each year since July 2009, the City of Pueblo and Pueblo Police Department have accepted Colorado auto theft grant funds. The total funds are disbursed by CATPA and are shared among several different law enforcement agencies in Colorado. A Memorandum of Understanding formalizes the relationship between the various participating agencies. The BATTLE multi-jurisdictional task force focuses on the prevention and reduction of motor vehicle thefts as well as the identification, investigation, location of stolen motor vehicles, and apprehension of suspects. The task force works to increase the number of stolen vehicles recovered, offenders arrested, and decrease vehicle thefts. The agencies accomplish this through educational and intelligence-led enforcement efforts throughout participating jurisdictions with task force members sharing information amongst each other and any other requesting agency. The task force utilizes grant funds provided by the Colorado Auto Theft Prevention Authority (CATPA) to help complete its mission. Funds shall be used only in accordance with the provisions of CATPA’s FY19 grant award, pursuant to the project number CATPA19-JAJU19, to the Colorado State Patrol (BATTLE) Team. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The Pueblo Police Department shall receive $19,500.00 in additional funds as allocated by the grant award. No match is required by the City of Pueblo.
