<br />V. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
<br />10 -021
<br />Council Approval N/A
<br />King County and the municipalities within the Puget Sound area have experienced an
<br />increase in urbanization and population densities. The increase in urbanization and
<br />population within the area has resulted in an increase in crime associated with auto theft.
<br />The ability to address auto theft and the crimes associated with it has stretched the
<br />resources of individual police department investigative units.
<br />Law enforcement efforts directed at dealing with auto theft issues have, for the most part,
<br />been conducted by law enforcement agencies working independently. A multi jurisdictional
<br />effort to handle specific and complicated auto theft investigations will result in more
<br />effective pooling of personnel, improved utilization of funds, reduced duplication of
<br />equipment, improved training, development of specialized expertise, improved information
<br />sharing, and increased utilization /application of a combined auto theft task force. The
<br />results will improve services for all of the jurisdictions, increase safety for the community,
<br />and improve auto theft prosecution.
