Corpus Christi Can Combat Crime Thanks to New Grant Funding
The City of Corpus Christi was awarded a grant of $395,356 from the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority (MVCPA).
Press Release
On Thursday July 9, the City of Corpus Christi was awarded a grant of $395,356 from the Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority (MVCPA).
The grant supports local law enforcement efforts to prevent Texans from experiencing over $1 billion in losses caused each year from motor vehicle crime.
The Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority, a division of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, funds local law enforcement taskforces across the state every year. The funds come from a $4 fee that MVCPA collects from motor vehicle insurance companies. A large part of the fee collected also supports emergency rooms and trauma centers throughout Texas.
The Texas Legislature established MVCPA in 1991 to create a statewide effort to reduce auto theft. The Authority is comprised of governor-appointed members from insurers, law enforcement and the public along with a designee from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
