OVERVIEW Vehicle theft has become the most costly of all property crimes, and is an American epidemic. It iml?acts over four million Americans each year at a cost exceeding $10 billion. This represents almost half (48%) of the dollar loss of all crimes combined. California led the nation in 1994 with approximately 300LOOO vehicle thefts, 40,000 of which were never recovered. During tnis same year in San Bernardino County, a total of 20,311' vehicles were stolen at a cost to the citizens of almost $122 million. While vehicle thefts decreased statewide in 1994 by 4.4%, in San Bernardino County during the same time period they increased by 10.1 %. In an effort to combat this growing crime problem, and to address mounting public concern, the California LeQislature passed into law Senate BilT 2139 (Vehicle Code Section 9250.14). As stated this bill authorizes the County Board of Supervisors to impose a $1 fee on all vehicles registered in the County. at the time of registration renewal, to enhance the capacity of local police and prosecutors to deter, investigate, and prosecute vehicle theft crimes. I n May of 1995 the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution pursuant to Vehicle Code Section 9250.14 specifically to fund a multi-jurisdictional vehicle theft task force. The resolution was adopted unanimously and results in an additional $1.00 fee to be charged on each San Bernardino County new and renewal vehicle reQistration. The fee increase is scheduled to begin effective October 1', 1995 and will be continuously appropriated, without regard to fiscal years. II. MISSION STATEMENT To reduce the incidence of vehicle theft/car-jackings and increase the apprehension of the professional vehicle thief, the San Bernardino County Auto Theft Task Force will accomplish the following: 1. Interface with the California Hi~hway Patrol Investigative Services Unit (Vehicle Theft), DMV, Dept of Insurance (001), DOJ, FBI and all agencies within San Bernardino County for the sharing of intelngence information related to vehicle theft. . , San Bernardino County Auto Theft Task Force Memorandum of Understanding Page 2 2. 3. 4. 5. Increase the number of arrests of vehicle theft and car jacking suspects, particularly the professional thieves participating in the :;urgical stripping, renumbering for resale, exportation, and car JacKing. Identify locations that are used in connection with vehicle theft offenses and take appropriate enforcement action. These locations may include legitimate business locations (e.g., repair/body snops and dlsmantlers) used for illegal activities and the sites of "chop shop operations." Identify local trends and patterns of vehicle theft and car- jacking activity to be targeted by task force investigators. Increase the recovery rate of stolen vehicles and reduce the number of car-jacking incidents in San Bernardino County. Provide centralized repository for vehicle theft expertise, support, coordination, and information data base. In cooperation with the San Bernardino County District Attorney increase the number of felony prosecutions for vehicle theft ana car-jacking suspects, particularly the professional thieves partlcip~ting in the s,-!rgic.al stripping, renumbering for resale, exportation, and car-Jacking. Conduct business inspections pursuant to section 2805 of the California Vehicle Code, for the purpose of investigating the title and registration of vehicles to establish the rigntful ownership or possession of the vehicle or identifiable vehicle component part. Provide a forum for public awareness relating to vehicle theft . prevention and trends throughout San Bernardino County. This will be accomplished through coordination with the local media to publicize the vehicle theft problem and task force activities, thereby encouraging public participation while discouraging potential vehicle 1hieves. 6. 7. 8. 9. 06/01/02 San Bernardino County Auto Theft Task Force Memorandum of Understanding Page 3 III.
