SECTION 5. Statement of Need and Current Staff - Part A. Describe the speciftc problem or dt ficicrtc;v that is to be
corrected. Document the need by providing the source of the of the statistical data, and include both numbers and
Percentages. Statistical data should correspond to the geographical project area described in Section 1. Dv not exceed the
space provided. Part 8. List current staff (not MYTP.4 funded) that have motor vehicle theft responsibilities in Your agency.
Include the position title, full-time salary, and percent of time spent on motor vehicle theft responsibilities.
Part A. Statement of Need
The City of Tamarac, ppopulation 52,413 (University of Florida Bureau of Business and
EconomicResearch 4/99) is located in Broward County. With a population increase of 10% between
1994 and 1999, Tamarac is a rapidly growing community. Per the most recent census data (1990) 59%
of the population, or 30,923 residents, are 55 years of age or older. There are 13,960 multifamily units in
Tamarac. The majority of these are senior communities. These multifamily communities are typically
not ated and are located on or near major cross streets. Proximity to major highways, easy access, and
an abundance of vehicle..0 mnkP thPCP rrnrrtrn1tn;t;PC a nr;., tornat r^r �11+^ ♦t 4
Analysis of the FDLE records for the period 1997 through 1999 shows that, while the crime rate in the
City of Tamarac decreased dramatically 42% from 4,339 occurrences per 100,000 in 1997 to 2,723
occurrences per 100,000 in 1999, auto theft reduction within the City has not kept pace with this
decrease. Further analysis of FDLE records for the same period shows that auto theft within the City of
Tamarac declined only 21% from 335 occurrences in 1997 to 266 in 1999. In addition to the 266
vehicles stolen within Tamarac during 1999, further analysis of the police reports reveals that another
177 vehicles previously reported stolen were recovered inside the City limits.
Additionally, Tamarac has not kept pace with the overall County decline in auto theft. The FDLE
County and Municipal Offense Data base shows that between 1997 and 1999 auto theft in Broward
County decreased 3 1 % from 16,005 occurrences countywide in 1997 to 11,073 occurrences in 1999, or,
31 % compared to the previously sited 21 % decrease in the City of Tamarac.
Impromptu surveys of the older population and staff observation of practices while patrolling the senior
communities indicates that resident awareness of auto anti -theft prevention measures is low. A random
survey conducted within the last 30 days of 40 vehicles parked at a senior complex within the City limits
showed that 16 (40%) of the vehicles were on the list of10 most frequently stolen in Florida during
1999 per the National Insurance Crime Bureau (10/99).

SECTION 4. Grant Purpose and Description -Provide a summary description of the project that is to be funded by the
MVTPA. Briefly describe the grant objectives and the grant funded strategies and activities that will be implemented to
achieve the objectives. Describe how the project meets priorities established by the MVTPA, if applicable. Do not exceed
one page.
Summary Description of Proposed Project
The problem to be addressed by this grant proposal is auto theft in the City of Tamarac with a focus on
prevention measures targeted to the elderly. The project will, through a cooperative effort with the
Tamarac Presidents Council and the Tamarac Citizens Observer Patrol, provide an expanded education
campaign to improve senior citizen awareness of anti -theft measures as well as provide and promote the
use of anti -theft devices by those residents determined to be most at risk. The project will provide for
VIN/CAT rallies at various senior citizen complexes in the City so that information can be distributed,
and vehicles etched, on site. Tamarac has a Citizen Patrol consisting of volunteers from throughout the
community. These members will be trained in anti -theft measures so that they can reinforce staff efforts,
assist in the education of the residents within their individual sectors, and help to collect the information
needed to determine the impact of the City's anti -theft efforts.
The project will also provide for the collection and analysis of data on auto theft within the City of
Tamarac. The data base will be designed to assist staff in determining the types of vehicles most
frequently stolen within the City of Tamarac, tracking of "dumped" vehicles to determine point of origin
so that cooperative programs can be initiated with other jurisdictions, high risk locations so that
prevention efforts can be targeted and day/time patterns so that policing efforts of officers and citizen
patrol can be best focused.
Objectives
The objectives of this project are:
Reduce auto theft within the City of Tamarac by 25% by 9/30/01
Increase awareness of anti auto -theft measures and devices 25% by targeting additional programs and
resources to the elderly
Develop a database for use in collecting and analyzing information on auto theft within the City of
Tamarac with implementation by December 31, 2000 and a fully operational system by September 30,
2001
Activities
Activities to be undertaken by this project include:
Develop and deliver information programs and publications targeted to the elderly population.
Hold 10 Vehicle Theft Prevention Rallies on site in senior complexes
Vin etch 1,000 vehicles on site at Senior Communities in conjunction with rallies
Promote VIN etching/ CAT rallies via press releases
Provide 500 steering wheel locking devices to high risk residents at no charge
Train Citizen Observer Patrol members on auto anti -theft measures andprocedures
Develop a database and establish procedures for data collection and analysis
Advertise vehicle theft prevention program activities via the local community newspaper

SECTION 5. Statement of Need and Current Staff - Part A. Describe the specific problem or de/iciencv that is to be
corrected. Document the need by providing the source of the of the statistical data, and include both numbers and
percentages. Statistical data should correspond to the geographical project area described in Section 1. Du not exceed the
space provided. Part a. List current staff (not MVTR4 funded) that have motor vehicle theft responsibilities in your agency.
Include the position title, full-time salary, and percent of time spent on motor vehicle theft responsibilities.
Part A. Statement of Need
The City of Tamarac, population 52,413 (University of Florida Bureau of Business and
EconomicResearch 4/99) is located in Broward County. With a population increase of 10% between
1994 and 1999, Tamarac is a rapidly growing community. Per the most recent census data (1990) 59%
of the population, or 30,923 residents, are 55 years of age or older. There are 13,960 multifamily units in
Tamarac. The majority of these are senior communities. These multifamily communities are typically
not gated and are located on or near major cross streets. Proximity to major highways, easy access, and
an abundance of vehicles make these communities a prime target for auto theft.
Analysis of the FDLE records for the period 1997 through 1999 shows that, while the crime rate in the
City of Tamarac decreased dramatically 42% from 4,339 occurrences per 100,000 in 1997 to 2,723
occurrences per 100,000 in 1999, auto theft reduction within the City has not kept pace with this
decrease. Further analysis of FDLE records for the same period shows that auto theft within the City of
Tamarac declined only 21% from 335 occurrences in 1997 to 266 in 1999. In addition to the 266
vehicles stolen within Tamarac during 1999, further analysis of the police reports reveals that another
177 vehicles previously reported stolen were recovered inside the City limits.
Additionally, Tamarac has not kept pace with the overall County decline in auto theft. The FDLE
County and Municipal Offense Data base shows that between 1997 and 1999 auto theft in Broward
County decreased 3 1 % from 16,005 occurrences countywide in 1997 to 11,073 occurrences in 1999, or,
31 % compared to the previously sited 21 % decrease in the City of Tamarac.
Impromptu surveys of the older population and staff observation of practices while patrolling the senior
communities indicates that resident awareness of auto anti -theft prevention measures is low. A random
survey conducted within the last 30 days of 40 vehicles parked at a senior complex within the City limits
showed that 16 (40%) of the vehicles were on the list of 10 most frequently stolen in Florida during
1999 per the National Insurance Crime Bureau (10/99).
