  2. What is HEAT? • HEAT (Help Eliminate Auto Thefts) is Michigan's auto theft prevention and reward program which coordinates citizen action with law enforcement agencies through confidential reporting of stolen vehicles, chop shops, and suspected auto theft activities including insurance fraud, identity theft and carjackings.

  7. Tip Assignment • The Michigan State Police assigns the tip based on the jurisdiction of the crime.
