In 2003 NICB teamed up with the Northern Chapter of WSATI to give the first annual NICB/WSATI special achievement award for outstanding achievements in the war on Auto Theft by an individual or a team, either Law Enforcement or Insurance. The award was renamed the Gary Gray Auto Theft Achievement Award in 2004 in a memorial to Gary.
NICB through West Region Directors of Operation Ralph Lumpkin and Robert Jones will obtain a plaque. The plaque will be awarded to the recipient at the annual WSATI conference. The award will be presented by NICB West Region Directors or their designee. Any member or team in any of the WSATI Chapters would be eligible.
Gary was one of 4 or 5 investigators from around the San Francisco Bay area that had a meeting in 1970 to discuss auto theft problems in the area and 2 years later WSATI Northern Chapter was formed. He was a real pioneer in WSATI. Over the several years that Gary was a member of WSATI he served in every office and was the current Past President when he passed away in 2003. He was also a dedicated member of NICB for over 10 years.
