Neighborhood Programs
To become involved in the programs listed below, please contact the Corpus Christi Police Department's Crime Prevention Division at (361) 886-2765.
National Night Out
Each year thousands of Corpus Christi residents participate in National Night Out. This unique crime and drug prevention event is sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW), and is scheduled yearly for the first Tuesday in October from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Neighbors on Watch (NOW)
The NOW program is designed to bring citizens in a neighborhood together to increase safety and decrease crime. It increases citizen's awareness through education and participation, focusing on two primary areas of citizen responsibility: (1) action taken during the commission of a crime; and (2) action taken before the crime is committed. The NOW program emphasizes the importance of citizens working together at the neighborhood level while serving as the "eyes and ears" of the Police Department. A Crime Prevention Specialist will provide information to help you get started, and will also attend your first meeting to explain the NOW program and offer home security tips and other safety related information.
