Spring Break 2015 By the Numbers

Although spring break crowds were much smaller than in years past due to the poor weather, enforcement actions by Corpus Christi Police Officers on Padre Island Beaches resulted in the following statistics.

 

Officers placed a strong emphasis on keeping the streets safe for both spring breakers and local residents by increasing the number of officers assigned to DWI patrol.  As a result, Officers made 21 Driving While Intoxicated arrests during this year’s spring break period (March 13th through March 22nd), compared to zero in 2014.

 

Perhaps the number that CCPD is proudest to report is zero:  Zero traffic fatalities; Zero DWI related major accidents; and Zero serious assaults on the beach (stabbings, shootings, beatings, etc.)

 
339 traffic citations
21 DWI arrests (up from zero in 2014). Twelve were blood draws and nine blew on the Intoxilyzer (7 at Tortuga, 2 at CDC)
16 Minor In Possession of Alcohol
16 Glass Container violations
9 No Insurance Impounds
7 Misdemeanor warrants
5 Driving in Dunes warnings
5 DWLI/DWLS arrests
4 Public Intoxication arrests
4 Poss. of Marijuana (not synthetic)
4 Felony warrants
2 Open Container citations
2 Minor Accidents
2 Fail to ID/Fugitive arrests
1 Reckless driving arrest
1 Possession of Controlled Substance arrest
1 Unlawful Carrying of a weapon arrest
1 Fraudulent Use of Identifying Information arrest
1 Tampering with Evidence arrest
 
 
These stats are from the beach units, Gang unit and Traffic units who took enforcement action on the beach for Spring Break.

Police Help Encourage Two Participants of Operation Red Cord Out of Prostitution

Since July 2013, the District Attorney’s Office, Corpus Christi Police Department and Coastal Bend Wellness Coalition have joined forces in a Prostitution Diversion Program titled Red Cord. This program is intended to help women and men involved in prostitution have a second chance at life and find a way out of their current environment and present circumstances.

The program entails providing services such as substance abuse treatment, health evaluation and treatment, mental health evaluation and treatment, job skills programs, education programs as well as temporary housing all provided by the non-profit partners.

With the help of Judge D. Galvan, Asst. District Attorney Lorena Whitney, substance abuse agencies and several community agencies, Red Cord successfully removed 2 participants, ages 39 and 52, out of prostitution and improve their quality of life. These women have found stable housing, link to social services, gain employment, increase self-esteem, and even found faith in their future free of having to resort back to surviving through prostitution. One of the clients was successfully linked to substance abuse treatment services and remains sober. The other participant is a mother of two and this program has provided them the opportunity to remain a strong family unit in their own housing unit.

The Coastal Bend Wellness has counseled, case managed and encouraged those who are really looking for a way out of their present circumstance and address those issues related to their involvement in prostitution. The path it takes out of prostitution is a long and difficult one for some. The complexity of circumstances and dedication it takes to make the necessary behavior changes to leave prostitution is too much for some to handle. We will continue to help those who are willing to help themselves.
