Welcome to the Corpus Christi Police Virtual Ride Along. This is the opportunity for you to witness police activity in real-time from the comfort of home. Messages, pictures and information will be sent out on Twitter at the address @CorpusChristiPD. We encourage your participation, so please ask questions as you follow the program. Be aware that the officer will be driving and responding to police work, so be patient if there is a delay for response to questions.

The officer with which you will witness is Officer Kirk Stowers. Officer Stowers entered the police academy in May 2002 and served on patrol until his transfer to the Public Information Office in March 2012.

Officer Stowers will be a part of the Corpus Christi Police Holiday Initiative today. The Holiday Initiative is a project from the police department each year to provide extra patrols to the densely populated shopping areas in order to direct traffic, reduce crime, reduce the fear of crime, and to enhance public safety.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy the Virtual Ride Along!
