Overview#
Auto Theft Investigation and Recovery provides vehicle crime investigation capabilities for law enforcement agencies, insurance special investigation units, vehicle finance companies, and border security operations. The platform supports investigation of auto theft rings, stolen vehicle recovery, chop shop operations, and organized vehicle crime through real-time VIN verification, automated parts tracking, telematics integration, and cross-border intelligence.
Key Features#
National VIN Database Integration#
Real-time queries across the NCIC stolen vehicle database, all 50 state DMV systems, and Canadian CPIC. VIN verification across multiple data sources identifies cloning, title washing, and registration fraud.
Automated Recovery Operations#
License plate reader integration with both fixed infrastructure (highways, border checkpoints, bridges) and mobile systems (patrol vehicles, parking enforcement). Telematics integration with factory systems (GM OnStar, BMW ConnectedDrive, Tesla GPS, and others) and aftermarket trackers for real-time stolen vehicle location. Bait vehicle operation management with multi-camera systems, GPS tracking, and remote ignition control.
Title Fraud and Title Washing Detection#
Automated detection of salvage title laundering, VIN cloning, and cross-state title manipulation. Monitors for brand inconsistencies, rapid state changes, odometer rollback, and insurance total loss mismatches. Identifies financial fraud patterns including double collateral, straw buyer schemes, and export-after-loan schemes.
Chop Shop Intelligence#
Parts tracking through salvage auctions, online marketplaces, and recycler networks. Network analysis links theft crews, fences, and distribution operations to build prosecutable cases against organized theft rings.
Insurance Fraud Investigation#
Detection of owner give-up schemes, staged accident fraud, and serial claimant patterns. Cross-referencing with ISO ClaimSearch, NICB, and insurance carrier databases for claim verification and subrogation support.
Organized Crime Mapping#
Network analysis connecting theft crews, vehicle fences, export operations, and financial crime. Supports RICO prosecution development with enterprise and pattern element documentation.
