- The 8 and 32 hour training courses were identified as good tools to educate local law enforcement. The 90-day temporary assignment of local law enforcement to task forces has also proven to be successful. Prosecutors clearly indicated that trained officers prepare better cases for prosecution. Finally, industry investigators and task force directors identified the need for advanced training for auto theft investigators.
- Chiefs and Sheriffs are in favor of continued statewide officer training in motor vehicle theft investigation. In a previously conducted survey, they responded that officers attending vehicle theft training asked more and better questions and were checking for patterns in theft they previously had not. They also were reported to have increased their skills and techniques for discovering false theft claims and insurance fraud as well as a better understanding of transportation theft, parts theft, VIN switching and retagging.
- Roll call training should be used to advise all police officers of insurance fraud indicators.
- The Council should continue to support the training courses currently offered statewide by the Illinois State Police, such as the regional in-service training seminars for patrol officers and for experienced auto theft investigators. Emphasis on interview and interrogation techniques; construction equipment and specialty vehicle theft investigation was recommended.
- It was strongly suggested that the auto theft investigator training curriculum include cross-training due to the interrelationship between auto theft and other criminal activity as well as in-depth training on the types of offenders: career, juvenile, gang member, drug user/dealer.
