Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority (Auto Theft) Grant Fund

The Auto Theft Grant is used to account for the funding received through the Texas Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority (MVCPA) to provide personnel costs, training, supplies and equipment used by the Victoria Police Department to help reduce automobile theft. The MVCPA has fostered a statewide cooperative network of law enforcement groups, prosecutors, insurance industry representatives, local tax assessor-collectors, and concerned citizens to combat vehicle theft and burglary through enforcement, prevention, public information, and education initiatives. In addition to providing guidance and oversight, MVCPA awards financial grants to agencies, organizations, and concerned parties in an effort to raise public awareness of vehicle theft and burglary and implement education and prevention initiatives.
