Hi Christine,
I'm working on a story about an ordinance to curb catalytic converter theft, which was briefly discussed
at the Board of Supervisors meeting today.
While I will be speaking with the concerned politicians focused on this ordinance, I'm interested in
collecting some data on catalytic converter thefts in different parts of the county.
1. Could I please receive the total number of reported catalytic converter thefts to SLOPD in 2024?
2. What are the lowest and highest values of the stolen converters?
3. Is this a growing problem in the city of SLO?
I appreciate any time you can dedicate to my request. I'd love to talk with you in the future about follow-
up questions on this potential ordinance once I learn more.
Best,
Bulbul
