2021 HEAT Awards – Nominations are Now Closed
Nominations for the 2021 HEAT Awards are now closed. We look forward to recognizing efforts made by the various state and local law enforcement agencies as they help eliminate auto theft across the Commonwealth.
Use common sense to protect your ride
Last year, more than 10,500 vehicles were stolen in Virginia. The Virginia State Police HEAT Program is committed to reducing that number. But we can’t do it alone. We need every driver to do their part.
Saying Goodbye to the old HEAT Corvette
For more than 20 years, the HEAT program has used a branded Corvette as a conversation starter to educate the public about vehicle theft prevention. The sports car was originally seized in a drug case and had three Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) — as a result, the courts ordered it be destroyed when the program was done with it. Visit our display page to see the replacement – our new 2019 Chevrolet Corvette!
About the HEAT program
For more than 25 years, HEAT has been providing Virginians with the knowledge and resources they need to prevent becoming victims of auto theft.
About Us
We educate citizens how to prevent the theft of vehicles, a crime that costs Virginians millions of dollars each year.
HEAT provides an online tip submission form for citizens to report information concerning the theft of vehicles, vehicle parts or chop shop operations. Information remains confidential throughout the process, and tips leading to arrests are eligible for rewards of up to $25,000.
