Auto Theft Reduction Program

The Educators 4 Education (E4E) Auto Theft Reduction Program is a joint effort between the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office and Educators 4 Education, a Philadelphia-based community youth organization. In response to an alarming 16,000 auto theft reports, primarily involving adolescents aged 12 to 18, the initiative was launched in July 2023 to target the specific needs of this age bracket. The primary goal is to reduce auto theft incidents in the Philadelphia area by engaging people aged 13 to 19, particularly those referred by the District Attorney's office for non-violent auto theft charges.
