Bait Car Program

A bait car is a vehicle owned by the police and is intended to be stolen. After a bait car is stolen, the location of the vehicle is monitored. Everything that takes place inside the bait car is caught on audio and video. The dispatcher will coordinate a police response and once officers are in position behind the bait car, the engine will be disabled at the click of a mouse button which allows for the quick arrest of the car thieves.
