The Violence Prevention Academy was designed to train school-based personnel to develop comprehensive, integrated, evidence-based violence prevention plans tailored to the specific needs of participating schools. Using a combination of face-to-face learning and technical assistance, the training program enhances the skills of school violence prevention specialists and the capacity of the schools where they work to implement and sustain successful violence prevention programs.

The AATA is a state agency whose mission is to deter vehicle theft through a cooperative effort by supporting law enforcement activities, vertical prosecution, and public awareness/community education programs. The AATA's community education message strongly encourages the public to be diligent about practicing theft prevention and utilize a "layered approach" to protection.

The Arizona Automobile Theft Authority was established by the Arizona Legislature in 1997 to create a statewide effort to reduce auto theft. The AATA is funded through semi-annual assessments of over 400 insurance companies doing business in Arizona and uses no tax dollars. These dedicated funds facilitate a cooperative effort by the insurance industry, law enforcement & criminal justice agencies and the citizens of Arizona. The AATA serves as a unique example of public/private and consumer partnership and is viewed as a national model for effective and sustainable auto theft reduction strategies. The AATA functions as the lead organization in a statewide network of law enforcement, prosecution and public education partners working to combat auto theft in Arizona. By focusing resources in enforcement/investigative units, prosecution efforts, and aggressive public education programs, the AATA, and our statewide law enforcement partners have been impacting our state’s auto theft rate.
