Organizational Purpose: The specific and primary purpose is to stimulate interest in the prevention of vehicle theft, vehicle arson and insurance fraud involving vehicles; apprehension of parties responsible
for these crimes; and to provide training and education to further these principles.We recognize that, just as law enforcement agencies cannot successfully function independent of one another, auto theft and fraud investigation
requires the active participation of the private sector, therefore our membership also includes the insurance industry, automotive security companies, automotive manufactures, car rental companies and the National insurance Crime
Bureau.
