Status of the 71st:

The Corpus Christi Police Academy Cadets learned the operations and functions of the Corpus Christi Police Emergency Response Unit. The components of the Emergency Response Unit include The Hostage Negotiation Team, The Dive Team, The Bomb Squad, and SWAT. Representatives from each component of the Emergency Response Unit and the officers who work with the Patrol Dogs gave presentations today of their function on the department and the criteria for applying to these specialized units. The Cadets were informed when and how to appropriately activate these resources.

The Cadets have to read Chapters 6 & 7 of the Corpus Christi Police General Rules Manual over the weekend. Chapter 6 explains the policy of Internal Affairs Investigations and Chapter 7 provides the regulation of reporting and controlling criminal justice information.
