Summary

This bill would require the Police Department (NYPD) to create a vehicle theft prevention program, whereby the department would provide the public with devices that would help prevent vehicle theft, including but not limited to steering wheel locking devices. The NYPD would be required to provide the public with educational materials on any known vehicle software issues that make vehicles easier to steal, and provide assistance with installing software updates that address such issues. The NYPD would also be required to conduct a public outreach campaign, to make the public aware of the program.
