Pennsylvania Anti-Car Theft Committee

Pennsylvania Anti-Car Theft Committee engages in community outreach to educate the public about preventing auto theft through volunteers and speaker bureaus. The committee collaborates with the Pennsylvania Auto Theft Prevention Authority (ATPA), a network of nearly 100 skilled law enforcement professionals targeting both individual joyriders and sophisticated international theft rings. By awarding grants to investigative units and prevention programs, ATPA has helped recover stolen vehicles and parts worth $900 million, resulting in a drop in theft rates in Pennsylvania by more than 37%.
