PROJECT SUMMARY
The Oakland County Prosecutor's Anti Auto-Theft Program is a
five year program designed to drastically reduce the incidence of
auto-theft in Oakland County. The program will achieve its goal
by utilizing a specially designated assistant prosecutor assigned
exclusively to combat auto-theft in Oakland County. The
Auto-Theft Prosecutor will actively assist all Oakland County
police agencies in their enforcement efforts by providing legal
' advice, preparing search warrants, preparing arrest warrant
authorizations, and by providing direction for investigative
efforts where necessary.
The Auto-Theft Prosecutor will also aggressively utilize the
chop shop legislation forfeiture provisions in .an effort to
destroy the profitability of commercialized auto theft
operations. It is contemplated he/she will also be designated
the Special Prosecutor for criminal actions that are complex or
highly involved, relating to auto-theft offenses, where the facts
indicate a need for continuity from investigation through
prosecution. The entire Oakland County Prosecutor's Office will
continue to execute the prosecutor's "no-plea" policy in all auto
theft, fraud and larceny cases.
The Auto-Theft Prosecutor will also actively participate in
the creation, drafting and support of new legislation designed to
modernize the criminal law concerning auto-theft offenses.
Specific attention will be given to legislation designed to deal
with offenses such as body switching, re-tagging and insurance
fraud.
Finally, the Auto-Theft Prosecutor, acting in conjunction
with the Oakland County Prosecutor's Police/Prosecutor Training
Coordinator, will develop a training program for all assistant
prosecutors with regular updates in order to insure that every
assistant prosecutor who may handle auto-theft offense
investigations or prosecutions, will have the expertise necessary
to insure competent representation and conviction.
The undersigned understand and agree that a grant received as a result of this application is subject to Act 10, P.A. of
1986, and the Policies of the Automobile Theft Prevention Authority. We certify that all information provided is true and
accurate.

BUDGET NARRATIVE
The Anti-Auto Theft Program comtemplates the appointment of
an experienced Assistant Prosecuting Attorney to be designated as
the Auto Theft Prosecutor in the Oakland County Prosecutor's
Office. The program will require that this person have the
ability to successfully conduct both criminal and civil
prosecutions under the chop shop laws and the Michigan Penal
Code. This person must also have the ability to draft and submit
for consideration to the legislative bodies in Michigan
legislation designed to provide more effective tools in the fight
against auto theft. Additionally, the prosecutor must have an
ability to create training programs and impart knowledge to the
other assistant prosesuting attorneys who work in the office to
insure that they too, are able to successfully prosecute auto
theft offenses. The experience and competency required for this
enforcement responsibility is such that we have proposed and
recommended an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney III at the starting
level be utilized. The attorney will have a six month step
increase pursuant to county payroll system policy during the
first year, bringing the yearly salary expense for the first year
to $38,444.00. Fringe benefits are calculated by county formula
at 36 percent of salary.
The remaining expenditures seen in the grant application are
those necessary to the outfitting of an office for an assistant
prosecuting attorney. They include such basic equipment such as
desk and chairs, telephones, office supplies and office space
itself so that the assistant prosecutor can successfully perform
his functions. Clerical support for the Auto Theft Prosecutor
will be provided by existing staff at the Oakland County
Prosecutor's Office.
