Description

It is estimated that 75% of all crimes are committed with a vehicle. Whether it is a robbery, kidnapping, homicide, terrorism, auto theft trafficking, or any other crime, it is important for a police officer to be able to identify the vehicle they are interacting with or know the steps necessary to identify it.

Auto Theft & Vehicle Crimes will introduce police officers to vehicle identification number ("VIN") structure, locations (public and secondary), and methods to determine the true VIN of a vehicle. This course provides instruction on CARFAX for Police and other resources to verify the validity and history of a vehicle's VIN.

Students will dive into the world of organized auto theft trafficking and the theft crew network before learning to recognize many of the current auto theft trends. Students will learn to:

  • Spot a stolen vehicle
  • Identify where stolen vehicles are concealed
  • Understand why factory stolen vehicle location devices aren't often effective
  • Identify and catch a thief

This course is designed for law enforcement officers at all levels of experience and is beneficial for first-year officers and experienced investigators alike.
