Automobile Theft Prevention Authority Board of Directors

Automobile Theft Prevention Authority Board of Directors

Each year the Automobile Theft Prevention Authority (ATPA) Board awards grants to law enforcement agencies, prosecutors' offices, and nonprofit community organizations.  These grant programs prevent auto theft, catch auto thieves, and put the thieves in jail.
 
The ATPA has four staff members at the Michigan State Police headquarters in East Lansing.  They conduct financial and performance audits on each program throughout the year and prepare reports for the board. ATPA board members are liaisons sharing crucial information with key state and national offices.
 
Finally, ATPA board members and staff are involved in long-range planning.  Regular meetings, including an annual strategic planning session, provide updated goals and objectives for fighting auto theft.
 
The board consists of 7 members: 2 representing purchasers of automobile insurance, 2 representing automobile insurers, 2 representing law enforcement officials, and the director of the department of state police or his/her designee.  Appointments to this board are subject to the advice and consent of the Senate.
