MetroCom Training Academy Graduation

Today the Corpus Christi Police Department MetroCom Division graduated 11 very capable and energetic Public Safety dispatchers to their ranks.

The MetroCom Training Academy was a six-week classroom academy which started in late November.

It consisted of a Telecommunications Certification Course, Call Takers Training, TCIC/NCIC Training and Certification, Basic Dispatching skills using our computer aided dispatch system – Intergraph, City Geography, and Police Codes.

Public Safety dispatchers receive calls from individuals who need assistance from Firefighters, Police Officers, and Emergency Medical Services. Once information is obtained from the caller, these dispatchers activate the services necessary to respond to the nature of the call for help.

Dispatchers are an integral part of our organization’s success. Essentially, the dispatcher is the “Conductor” of the force, and is responsible for the direction of all units within it 24-hours 7 days a week.

Congratulation and we welcome you to the Corpus Christi Police Deparment,

Detectives Investigate City’s First Homicide of 2012

01.03.2012/5:38 pm   Murder/Suicide   215 Aberdeen   1201030140

Shortly after 5:30 pm, police and medical units were dispatched to 215 Aberdeen reference a female down in her residence. When they arrived they located both the female and her estranged husband lying on the floor next to each other. The 71-year-old couple were not responsive and appeared to be deceased from gunshot wounds.

Upon further investigation it was learned that the individuals were involved in a domestic relationship and had been having some issues. Investigators were able to determine that the estranged husband arrived at the residence and a disturbance ensued, which led to the unfortunate results.  The preliminary investigation conducted by Homicide Detectives appears to indicate that the man shot the woman first before turning the gun on himself.

A firearm was located in the crime scene and tagged as evidence.

This remains an active and ongoing investigation.

At the Right Place – At the Right Time

12.22.2011/11:36am   Robbery   5602 S.P.I.D.   1112220034

An off duty Officer, who was at a local Speedy Stop, stumbled onto a disturbance that landed one individual in jail.

As the Officer was shopping he noticed that the store clerk was attempting to stop an individual from leaving the store with items he had concealed in his jacket. The Officer then approached the subject and identified himself as a Police Officer both verbally and visually, by displaying his badge.

The Officer then asked the individual to retrieve the stolen items from his jacket and wait for police.  The suspect did not like the idea and attempted to assault the Officer. He swung and missed the Officer but struck the clerk instead. The Officer attempted to take the individual into custody but the subject began to struggle with him. Eventually, the officer was able to detain the individual until on-duty Officers arrived and placed the subject in custody.

After giving several false names, the individual was identified as Hector Trillo (11-14-1969) He was booked for Robbery and Fail to Identify (Fugitive from Justice).
