Basically, how you will use awarded funding): Weld County covers just over 4000 square miles, with two interstates and eleven highways. There are eight cities and 23 incorporated towns which 25 of those cities and towns have their own police departments. Weld County also has 15 unincorporate towns which the Sheriff's Office provides law enforcement services. The Weld County Sheriff's Office enjoys a collaborative partnership with every one of them. There are two interstates through Weld County leading to other states provide throughways for stolen vehicles and criminal activity. Due to the size and proximity to the Denver Metro area, Weld County has become a "dumping ground" for vehicles that were stolen outside of Weld County. There have been 2,783 vehicles reported stolen in October FY21, statewide. When October FY20 and FY21 theft rates are compared, they reveal thefts increased 68 percent, from 1,660 in FY20 to 2,783 in FY21. The Sheriff's Office year to date has had 131 stolen vehicles cases with only 92 recovered vehicles. The value of stolen/recovered motor vehicles for the same period is $1,800,335 value of stolen vehicles and a recovery rate of only $1,113,323 dollars. Most of the agencies in Weld County have reported an estimated 761 vehicles stolen year to date. This data does not include recoveries from the Denver metro area. Statistical reports show, in the time period October 2020 to October 2021, that auto theft continues to increase in Colorado. Weld County is in the northern region of the state and has not seen a decrease of stolen vehicles as some of the other regions around the state. The Sheriff's Office is currently working with the Colorado State Patrol on a monthly combined team operation for criminal interdiction in high crime areas in Weld County. The BATTLE grant funds would assist future multijurisdictional team operations. Funds obtained from this grant will expand the region's reach of law enforcements efforts in identifying and recovering stolen vehicles as its primary goals. The system will also be beneficial for removing suspended and revoked drivers from our roadways. Weld County is statistically known in Colorado for fatal accidents and total fatal number of people killed in car crashes. In 2020, Weld County reported 46 fatal crashes including 54 people who were killed in the crash. Equipment requested (A recent price quote is required to request equipment.

Total operating expenses requested: One year contract for SIM Card activation in the APLR system would be $480.00 Xtreme 4G VZ Mobile Tracker $999.95 Totals $50,711.13 Explanation/breakdown of operating expenses: The ELSAG Plate Hunter Cover Toolbox System The plate hunter cameras are disguised in the diamond plate side of the toolbox. The trailer can read license plates when parked or moving. This model will look like the typical speed trailers that display speed only but with a covert camera inside the box. License plate readers will be able to read license plates without drawing attention to itself These license plate readers help identify stolen vehicles, stolen license plates and equipment moving on roadways. Due to the license plate reader (LPR) being placed on a trailer, which can be taken and towed away, a tracker will be installed on the LPR trailer to notify law enforcement with any tampering or theft. A SIM card is required for the tracker to always provide live up to date location of the trailer and LPR system. We are requesting funds to pay for the tracker and one year of SIM card service.
