The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office continues to partner with the Colorado Auto Theft Prevention Authority (CATPA) to combat catalytic converter theft and will be distributing free CatETCH labels to community members. The CatETCH labels each have a unique identifying number that can be applied to a catalytic converter by the vehicle owner or a mechanic. Catalytic converter labeling will allow identification of your catalytic converter in the event it is stolen and later recovered by law enforcement. The unique identification code is entered into a federal database.
Community members are required to complete a registration form, please follow this link https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=fJS yNwqOoEeiE0PL0SvxN2tPoejMhZ 1Kl-pqO40gDzJUQTRXUEtZMU1R QTU5VlFMNzZQRkpWQVVJMy4u prior to picking up their kit. During the registration process we will be collecting the community member’s email address, zip code, vehicle year, vehicle make and model, license plate number, vehicle identification number, and resident’s city. Up to three vehicles can be registered at a time.
After completing the registration process community members will schedule a time and location (from the list below) to pick up their CatETCH kits. Appointments are currently available in June:
