ENCLOSURES.
It is respectfully recommended that a Resolution allocating funds
for the "Combat Auto Theft" Program (C.A.T.), at a cost of
$10,000, be approved.
The Miami Police Department, along with the rest of the nation,.
has experienced an increased number of auto thefts during the
last year. The C.A.T. Program is designed to help prevent auto
theft by registering the hours that a vehicle is not normally
operated with the Community- Relations Unit of the Police
Department. A decal is then affixed to the vehicle designating
those hours. An officer spotting the decal has prior
authorization from the owner to stop the vehicle. Based on this
stop the officer can determine whether the vehicle has in fact
been stolen. If the vehicle was stolen, the officer will
articulate. the presence of the decal and its significance in his
report in order to establish probable cause.
It is, therefore, recommended that the Resolution authorizing the
establishment of the "Combat Auto Theft" Program, and allocating
funds therefor in the amount of $10,000, funding to be provided
from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund, Project No. 690001, Index
Code 290904-996, be approved.
