H.E.A.T.
(Help End Auto Theft)
Help STICK IT to Auto Thieves
Join the A.C.O.R.N. Neighborhood Association & the Beaumont Police in helping put an end to auto theft!
Automobile thefts in Texas are among the highest in the country. And no matter what kind of vehicle you drive -- old or new -- car or truck -- you could be the next victim.
H.E.A.T. is a statewide vehicle registration program administered by the Texas Department of Public Safety that helps law enforcement officials identify stolen vehicles.
Texas Watch Your Car H.E.A.T. Rear Decal
Vehicle owners can obtain a decal for the back window that authorizes law enforcement officers to stop the automobile between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. anywhere in the state of Texas.
Texas Watch Your Car H.E.A.T. Front Decals
Two additional decals can be added to the front window to help prevent the car from being driven illegally into Mexico. A yellow decal authorizes officials to stop the car between the hours of 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. as it crosses the border. A white decal authorizes officers to stop the vehicle any time it crosses the border into Mexico.
Protect Our Parts Program (P.O.P.)
Thieves often try to hide the identity of a stolen car by altering the car's identification number. The Authority, in partnership with the Texas Action Council on Theft, created the P.O.P. (Protect Our Parts) Program to assist in vehicle recovery efforts. P.O.P. uses visibly traceable labels printed with ID numbers attached permanently to vehicle parts and accessories. Even if the number is removed, it is still visible through ultraviolet light. Parts information is automatically entered into a database and made available to law enforcement officials worldwide.
