ITEM TITLE:
Title
Motion 21-390, approving the interlocal agreement between Snohomish County and the Washington State Patrol relating to Snohomish County auto theft task force participation
body
DEPARTMENT: Sheriff's Office
ORIGINATOR: Chief Norm Link
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve - Ken Klein 10/13/21
PURPOSE: Enter into an agreement for participation in the Auto Theft Task Force
BACKGROUND: While the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office and local police departments investigate auto theft, personnel resources do not allow any of these law enforcement agencies to focus their resources on the auto theft problem alone.
* In 2007 the Washington State Legislature passed House Bill 1001 to provide grants to local units of government for auto theft prevention. Among other things, the legislation created the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority (WATPA) for the purpose of assisting local governments in proactively dealing with auto theft.
* Grant funds must be used to prevent and reduce vehicle theft through the development and implementation of:
* Effective law enforcement investigation/enforcement/prosecution programs;
* Prevention/public awareness/community education projects;
* Equipment/technology related to auto theft prevention and reduction; and
* Training directly related to motor vehicle theft initiatives.
* Snohomish County will reimburse the Washington State Patrol for actual costs not to exceed $353,024.00.
