Catch Auto Thieves (CAT)
Auto theft is a growing national epidemic that is a potentially dangerous crime that often facilitates additional criminal activity. The CAT program, in which car owners sign a consent form that allows police to stop the vehicle without cause if it is being operated between the hours of 1:00 A.M. and 5:00 A.M., allows police to stop a vehicle and catch auto thieves quickly, before the owner even has a chance to report the vehicle stole.
The Milwaukee Police Department provides robbery deterrence classes. The classes are available for businesses in our community. Business owners and employees are encouraged to participate. The participants receive knowledge on how to protect themselves, assets and customers to deter potential victimization. Students will understand the concepts of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) and how to apply it to their business. Participants will learn about the crime triangle, plus city and state laws. Learn more and register online.
