Effective 1 November 2013, in accordance with City Ordinance 3 1/2, Officers will not respond to any alarm notification from an alarm site that does not have a valid permit unless the alarm notification was a duress alarm, a hold-up alarm, a panic alarm, or reported to a 9-1-1 emergency telephone number by a person other than an alarm company.

The Corpus Christi City Ordinance Sec. 3½-2 states that an alarm permit is required. Annual alarm fees are $35 dollars for a residential alarm and $60 dollars for a commercial property.

As Halloween is upon us we hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable day. Here are a few tips from the CDC website:

Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.

Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you. Always WALK and don’t run from house to house.

Look both ways before crossing the street. Use established crosswalks wherever possible.

Only walk on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.

Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls.

Enter homes only if you’re with a trusted adult. Only visit well-lit houses. Don’t stop at dark houses. Never accept rides from strangers.

As for those who would rather plays tricks than receive treats, remember that damaging a person’s property can be considered “Criminal Mischief”. Don’t ruin your night by having to meet one of our Uniformed Officers. The costume they are wearing is real and so are the consequences.

Let’s hope everyone can enjoy the night.

Corpus Christi Animal Care Services will be hosting ongoing Zeuter and Vaccination clinics to be performed by The Shot Spot, a low-cost mobile veterinarian clinic located in Houston, Texas. The first clinic will be held on Sunday, November 17, 2013 from 3:00pm to 6:00pm at 2626 Holly Rd (Animal Care Services parking lot.)  Another clinic has also been scheduled for November 27, 2013. These clinics are open to the public and are designed to assist working people who need weekend and after-hours alternatives to vaccinate and neuter their pet at a low-cost. 

Zeutering is a state of the art chemical castration procedure that is performed by a specially trained veterinarian. Zeutering, is a FDA approved, non-surgical procedure that can be performed without anesthesia, while leaving the testicles intact. The dog will then be marked with a small tattoo to indicate that he’s been neutered.  The process greatly reduces the cost of neutering and the time it takes to perform an operation.  There is little to no recovery time, no swelling, no irritation, and no stitches.

No appointment is needed to have your pet vaccinated or zeutered.  To see a list of services and prices, please see the Animal Care Services Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/corpuschristianimalcareservices or the Shot Spot website at www.txshotspot.com.

Corpus Christi Animal Care Services is excited to offer this low-cost program to the community.  This is another outstanding example of how we are attempting to reduce the number of stray animals in our city.

On Saturday, November 2, 2013, a total of 84 cars, trucks, and motorcycles will be auctioned at the Corpus Christi Police Department Vehicle Impound Lot located at 5485 Greenwood Drive during our monthly auction. The site has four paved acres for an auction lot.

Approximately 30 of these vehicles are “No Insurance” impounds. On Friday, November 1, 2013, the general public will be allowed to register and view the vehicles to be auctioned from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. There is no registration fee.

On the day of the auction, the general public can continue to register and view the vehicles from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. The auction will commence promptly at 10:00 a.m. on November 2, 2013.   The vehicles to be auctioned can be viewed at www.siskauction.com. An auction list may also be downloaded from the same website.

The department’s strong stand and enforcement of this “Zero Tolerance No Insurance Initiative” will continue and all vehicles involved in accidents will be impounded and the driver cited if they are unable to provide financial proof of insurance. Driver’s license and proof of financial responsibility checkpoints will continue to be conducted at the Shift Captains’ authorization.

During October 2013, Officers issued 456 citations for Failure to Maintain Financial Responsibility and impounded 114 vehicles for the same charge.

Corpus Christi Traffic and Safety Division Investigators have impounded the vehicle suspected to be involved in Sunday morning’s hit and run accident.  After viewing the airing of the hit and run accident on local media channels, the owners of the black Jeep Liberty contacted investigators and are cooperating with the investigation.

Early this morning, Investigators impounded the Jeep Liberty from the 2200 block of Skycrest Drive.  The investigation is ongoing and will be conducted by the Traffic and Safety Division’s Hit and Run Investigators. 

The Police Department would like to thank local Media for promptly airing the hit and run accident and the community for calling in tips to Crime Stoppers.
