RECOMMENDATION The Department recommends approval to help thwart Auto Thefts in Pueblo. BACKGROUND This grant will allow the Police Department to reduce its calls for service and the case load of detectives working to solve the large volume of auto thefts in our city. Calls for service on auto thefts in 2004 numbered 590. At the time the grant was applied for, there were in excess of 750 auto theft calls in 2005. This grant will allow the department to implement a proactive program that addresses as many aspects of this problem as possible. A video equipped bait vehicle will be placed in high crime areas of the City to allow the department to identify, apprehend, and prosecute the offenders. The department will also implement and publicize the Colorado Watch Your Car program, encouraging citizens to register their vehicles with this program.
