5. Ramsey County Presentation on Auto Theft by Melanie McMahon
Only 83% of people file a report for auto theft. It is very impactful in regards to
cost. If a car is stolen, there’s about a 50% that it will be recovered. There is an
auto theft prevention grant that gets distributed throughout the state. Ramsey
County Attorney’s Office is looking at not only the prosecution aspect, but how it
can be prevented. Technology has helped with preventing some auto theft.
6. Minnesota Association for Volunteer Administration Grant
All in favor of the grant submission
