OVERVIEW Vehicle theft has become the most costly of all property crimes, and is an American epidemic. It impacts over four million Americans each year at a cost exceeding :ti10 billion. This represents almost half (48%) of the dollar loss of all cnmes combined. California led the nation in 1994 with approximately 300LOOO vehicle theftlk 40,000 of which were never recovered. During tnis same year in "an Bernardino County, a total of 20,31 f 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 ttiey increased by 10.1 %. In an effort to combat this growing crime p'roblem, and to address mounting public concern, the California Legislature passed into law Senate Bilr2139 Nehicle 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 r~istration renewal, to enhance the capacity 01 local police and prosecutors to deter, investigate, and prosecute vehicle theft crimes. In May of 1995 the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution pursuant to Vehicle Gode 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 registration. The fee increase is scheduled to begin effective October f, 1995 and will be continuously appropriated, without regard to fiscal years. II. MISSION STATEMENT To reduce the incidence of vehicle theft/car-jacking~ 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 Highway. Patrol Investigative Services Unit (Vehicle Theft)! DMV, DQpt of Insurance ~Ol), DOJ, FBI and all a encies Within San Bernardino Coun for the sharing of intelWgence information related to vehicle heft. San Bernardino County Auto Theft Task Force Memorandum of Understanding Page 2 2. 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 offElflses and take appropriate enforcement action. These locations may include legitimate business locations (e.g., reJ;lair/body snops and dfsmantlers) used for illegal activities and the sifes 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 p'rosecutions for vehicle theft ana car-jacking suspects, ~rticurarly the professional thieves partlcipqting in the sl!rgi~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 rightful 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.
