CARCO Group CEO on DOJ Advisory Board

James Owens, the CEO of Holtsville based CARCO Group, Inc. will be serving on an advisory board with the U.S. Department of Justice.

He was invited by Jim Burch, Acting Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice, to serve as a Member representing the interests of the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) technology partners on the Bureau of Justice Assistance's NMVTIS Advisory Board, according to a statement from the company.

In an effort to combat automobile theft and fraud and provide consumer protection, the national NMVTIS was established by the Anti Car theft Act of 1992. It is an electronic system designed to protect consumers from fraud and unsafe vehicles and to keep stolen vehicles from being resold. The system also assists states and law enforcement in deterring, investigating, and preventing title fraud and other crimes. 

The NMVTIS Advisory Board's objective is to provide critical input and key recommendations to BJA's leadership regarding the effective and efficient administration of the NMVTIS program.

Through its CheckThatVIN.com service, CARCO provides consumers with access to NMVTIS to obtain a detailed state record on a vehicle they are seeking to purchase.
