The Corpus Christi Crime Stoppers offers a $250 dollar reward to anyone who reports underage drinking violations in Corpus Christi and law enforcement action is taken during the month of March in 2014.

The tip line is open for the public to call 888-8477 (888-TIPS) at any time, day or night, to provide tips about consumption of alcohol by minors. No one will ever ask for the caller’s name and the caller keeps their identity secret. The caller will be given a tip number and a second phone number. The caller uses the tip number to check on the status of the tip at a later time and if enforcement action was taken on their tip, they will be given instructions how to collect their $250 reward. The caller keeps their identity secret the whole time and never has to give their name.

The effort is to promote a safer Spring Break in Corpus Christi by reducing the ability for children to become intoxicated. The Corpus Christi Crime Stoppers initiated the project in March 2013 and received 65 tips. The Corpus Christi Police Department had a reduction in alcoholic beverage code violations while the tip line was open to report underage drinking last year as compared to the previous three years.

This project is a method for the Corpus Christi Police Department to work as an equal partner with the community to reduce crime and enhance public safety. Report underage drinking violations to the Corpus Christi Crime Stoppers this March; it could earn you $250 dollars in cash.
