The Corpus Christi Police Department partnered with the Coastal Bend WELLNESS Foundation, C2 Counseling, I Am Blue Nation, Men’s and Women’s Health Clinic, Metro Ministries, the Nueces County District Attorney’s Office, Nueces County Health Department, the Rock City Church, and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services to form the Red Cord program in an effort to offer an opportunity to exit a destructive lifestyle. These agencies provide service which range from Advocacy, Case Reviews, Child Welfare Checks, Clothing, Counseling, Drug Treatment, Food, Sexual Health Education, Short Term Housing, and STD Screening.
The Corpus Christi Police Department made arrests for prostitution and the violator’s criminal history was reviewed by an assistant District Attorney to determine if the violator was eligible for the program. The education program was offered to the violator once they were determined to be eligible and all six persons arrested Friday night volunteered for the diversion program rather than have criminal charges immediately applied.
