Officers were dispatched to the Wal-Mart reference a theft of Televisions. Upon arrival they talked to a store employee who stated that she attempted to ask a man in the parking lot pushing a shopping cart loaded with two televisions for his receipt. The male lifted his shirt to display a pistol tucked in his waistband. Another accomplice assisted the suspect in loading the televisions in silver four door Chevrolet.
Before the vehicle could leave, observant customers were able to obtain the vehicles license plate. Officers went to the 400 block of Dixon, to a home where the vehicle was registered. The vehicle was parked in front of the home. The suspect who assisted in loading the stolen televisions was found inside the house and arrested. An airsoft pistol was also located in the home. Officers have not located the televisions at this time, but some security tabs, consistent with those used by stores to protect merchandise were found discarded.
The suspect initially lied to officers about his true identity. Further investigation revealed that his true name was Jorge Calleros 11/19/74 and that he had an outstanding warrant for Robbery. He was taken to the City Detention Center for Aggravated Robbery, his outstanding warrant and Failure to Identify. The case has been assigned to the Criminal Investigative Division for further investigation.
This case is an excellent example of how our citizens can be partners in crime fighting by remaining observant about their surroundings and suspicious activity that they see.
Corpus Christi Police Chief Floyd Simpson consolidated the Gang Unit into the Criminal Investigation Division at the end of May, 2012 to share the investigative resources and speed the sharing of intelligence between these two units. The Investigations Bureau consolidation included a new third assistant chief of police position which is currently held by Assistant Chief Michael Markle.
The Corpus Christi Police Gang Unit went to the Misty Winds housing complex at the 5900 block of Ayers Street to serve an arrest warrant of Sammy Delgado (2/8/1991). Delgado had an arrest warrant for a parole violation. The Gang Unit investigators discovered sheets of printed money and implements of a counterfeit and forgery operation.
Delgado was arrested for the parole violation and then additionally charged with Forgery of a Government Instrument, Fraudulent possession of Identifying Information, Manufacture with Intent Counterfeit Instrument, and Possession of a Controlled Substance. The United States Secret Service will take over the Delgado counterfeit and forgery case for federal prosecution.
The integration and consolidation of gang investigators and detectives has resulted in improved criminal detection and quality prosecutions. This arrest for this subject suspected in printing counterfeit money is an example of the enhanced follow up capabilities of the Gang Unit as a result of this new department realignment.

Saturday’s Free Adoption Event sponsored by People Assisting Animal Control (PAAC) at the City Animal Care Shelter was a tremendous success, according to officials close to the event. On Saturday between 1:00 and 3:00 pm, PAAC paid the adoption fee for all dogs and cats housed in the Adoption Kennels at the City Animal Care Shelter. As a result of the event, 40 dogs and 16 cats found new homes with caring owners.
A line of over 50 people wrapped around the sidewalk of the Animal Care Shelter before the facility opened at 1:00 PM, and city officials estimated well over 200 attended the event before the doors to the Shelter closed at 6:00 PM. Animal Control employees and PAAC volunteers struggled to keep up with the long lines of people submitting applications to adopt, but the excitement of adopting a new pet seemed to make the wait worthwhile for most. “I can’t thank PAAC and their dedicated volunteers enough for making this event an incredible success,” said Commander Todd Green, whose duties include supervision of Animal Care and Control Services. “Our Veterinarian, Dr. Draper and our staff worked very hard alongside PAAC to make this event successful, and based on the turnout, it certainly was. I certainly commend everyone who came out and adopted a pet, and thank them for their patience while we processed the paperwork.” Commander Green added that he looked forward to continuing to work closely with PAAC and other local volunteer groups and shelters to make events like this a regular occurrence. Animal Care officials remind the public that for every pet adopted, two strays are saved: the pet that is taken home and the stray that then takes its place at the shelter.

Friday the 14th of September 2012 at 10:00 am, the Corpus Christi Police Department will present certificates of completion to the officers who successfully completed the standardized police motorcycle training course. This demanding 80 hour course replaces the 20 hour course that was previously required by the department for motorcycle officers.
The purpose of the training is to enhance the skills of officers who operate police motors. The conditions and demands of police driving differ from civilian motorcycle operation significantly. The department wants to ensure that our motor officers are as safe as possible when serving our community.
The certification is from a nationally recognized police motorcycle training institute. Two of our own officers are currently certified as instructors, so there was no cost associated with teaching these officers.
This presentation will take place in the Whataburger Field parking lot where much of this training took place.
***UPDATE*** the presentation has been moved to the CompStat room on the 5th floor of the PD building due to rain.
