One notable area where this decline was particularly significant was at Denver International Airport (DEN), which saw an impressive 87% decrease in auto theft reports compared to 2023. This can be attributed to a collaborative effort between various agencies such as the Governor's office, the Colorado Department of Public Safety (CDPS), the Colorado Auto Theft Prevention Authority (CATPA), Beat Auto Theft Through Law Enforcement (BATTLE), CATPA Metropolitan Auto Theft Task Force (CMATT), Denver Police Department (DPD), and Denver International Airport.

Overall, these results demonstrate the effectiveness of their multi-faceted approach towards reducing auto thefts and making Colorado a safer place for its residents. With continued support and funding, they hope to see even more progress in the future.
