NATIONAL VEHICLE THEFT INVESTIGATORS’ COURSE

Sub-program A: Reducing the Cost of Theft

Approach A3: Improving Investigative Responses and Inter-agency Co-operation.

Background

The NMVTRC's predecessor, the National Motor Vehicle Theft Task Force, recommended that a national vehicle theft investigation course be developed to help perpetuate the transfer of specialised expertise and informal intelligence exchange. Many of the state and territory police services however have now established dedicated “centres of expertise” within their organised crime departments to support local vehicle theft investigation.

 

Work Program

Investigators’ Network

The need for NMVTRC facilitated training has been alleviated with the development of the police “centres of expertise”, the NMVTRC’s on-going police vehicle theft investigators’ forum and the proposed Australian Crime Commission's motor vehicle theft investigators desk which will facilitate the sharing of intelligence, knowledge and expertise nationally..
