PROJECT SUMMARY
The City of Corpus Christi has a chronic and growing drug abuse problem. With
r
no significant increase in police personnel, arrests by the narcotics squad have grown
from 98 in 1967 to 298 in 1969. No known heroin addicts were in this community on
January 1, 1969. By January 1, 1970, the most conservative knowledgeable estimate
was 200 addicts. Estimates of number of marijuana users in certain high schools varies
from 10 percent of the student body to 85 percent, depending mainly on how the term
"user" is defined. Spasmotic, uncoordinated attempts by institutions and groups have"
generally proven ineffective in stemming the drug abuse problem. It is larger in terms
of numbers and baffling in its complexity. The development of a drug -user sub - culture
creates a situation which does not respond to traditional methods of law enforcement
alone.
} The purpose of the project is to coordinate and develop a comprehensive community
.y
program to address drug abuse from several approaches and from several levels. This
project has four separate but related components: (1) a program of contacting young
drug abusers in a manner and atmosphere acceptable to them and providing activities,
counseling and therapy designed to support and encourage the functioning of the indi-
vidual in society without the use of drugs; (2) an addiction treatment center revolving
around experimental methadone treatment under regulations and conditions established by
the Food and Drug Administration; (3) a program of evaluation of teaching techniques to
be used by the local school district in their formal anti -drug abuse curriculum;
(4) equipment acquisition to better utilize the time and effectiveness of the Police
Department's personnel in their law enforcement function.

GOALS
The City of Corpus Christi has a chronic and growing drug abuse problem. With
no significant increase in police personnel, arrests by the narcotics squad have grown
from 98 in 1967 to 298 in 1969. No known heroin addicts were in this community on
January 1, 1969. By January 1, 1970, the most conservative knowledgeable estimate
was 200 addicts. Estimates of number of marijuana users in certain high schools varies
from 10 percent of the student body to 85 percent, depending mainly on how the term
"user" is defined. Spasmotic, uncoordinated attempts by institutions and groups have
generally proven ineffective in stemming the drug' abuse problem. It is larger in terms
of numbers and baffling in its complexity. The development of a drug -user sub - culture
creates a situation which does not respond to traditional methods of law enforcement
alone.
The purpose of the project is to coordinate and develop a comprehensive community
program to address drug abuse from several approaches and from several levels. This
project has four separate but related components: (1) a program of contacting young
drug abusers in a manner and atmosphere acceptable to them and providing activities,
counseling and therapy designed to support and encourage the functioning of the indi-
vidual in society without the use of drugs; (2) an addiction treatment center revolving
around experimental methadone treatment under regulations and conditions established by
the Food and Drug Administration; (3) a program of evaluation of teaching techniques to
be used by the local school district in their formal anti -drug abuse curriculum;
(4) equipment acquisition to better utilize the time and effectiveness of the Police
Department's personnel in their law enforcement function.
66
The City of Corpus Christi, through the Department of Public Safety, requests
financial assistance from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration to lend coor-
dinating and financial support to the most outstanding and innovative programs to form
a united community effort that will address itself to the problems and solutions of drug
abuse.
In order to achieve this united community effort, the project divides responsi-
bility into four separate, but interrelated, components. These components will address
themselves to (1) preventive and rehabilitative work with drug abusers or potential drug
abusers, (II) support the work and initiate the expansion of the scope of work of an
addiction treatment center, (III) continuing education of the community (particularly,
youth) and civic groups concerning drug abuse and what is being accomplished, and
(IV) an increased level of service and efficiency of traditional law enforcement.
6-
I. Preventive and Rehabilitative Work with Drug Abusers and Potential Drug Abusers
The first component will address itself primarily to rehabilitation of present drug
abusers, and a preventative program to inhibit the number of drug abusers. This pro-
gram will be carried out by the Corpus Christi Drug Abuse Council, a non-profit cor-
poration. The responsibility of the Council will be:
A. To establish personal contact with drug abusers and potential drug abusers
by maintaining a center with an informal "coffeehouse" atmosphere; by allowing
trained workers to regularly visit gathering places of members of the sub - culture; by
forming on -call teams for hospital emergency rooms and jails; by cultivating relation-
ships with varied resources (individuals and groups) who will refer abusers or potential
drug abusers.
B. To maintain a non - judgmental and supportive atmosphere at this center.
C. To provide creative activities, especially involving creative art forms,
which will enable interested youth to constructively express themselves and to deal
with their environment without the assistance of drugs.
. D. To provide (at the "coffeehouse") counseling for youths by specially trained
volunteers.
E. To establish an adolescent psychological service under the direct supervision
of a clinical psychologist for deeper counseling and therapy. Counselors at the coffee-
house (because of professional pre - service training) shall be able to properly identify
and refer individuals who require advanced group supervision and care.
F. To refer appropriate individuals to an addiction treatment center.
G. To work closely with school officials, the project director, etc., for the
purpose of in- house, on -going monitoring of this component in relation to the demands
and desires of all other components.
METHODS AND TIMETABLE
At the present time, the Corpus Christi Drug Abuse Council operates a center
known as Nemo. This is a relatively small facility which is now open three nights a
week. Approximately 300 people, mainly adolescents and youth, use this facility at
the present time. It is a very informal environment of the "coffeehouse" type. This
facility has been in operation for slightly over four months and the people who come
there hear that by reputation, primarily by word of mouth, from young members of the
drug abuse culture. It has over 170 volunteer workers. Some are in training given
by youth workers, physicians and psychiatrists. This grant will enable Nemo to be
open and available seven days a week for approximately 90 hours each week. The
new programs proposed, especially in the creative arts, should attract additional people.
In addition, there will be occasional referrals to the Nemo Center from schools, the
Police Department, other agencies, and groups which come into contact with drug
abusers (for example, physicians and lawyers). Small groups of volunteers, some
ex -drug abusers, under close supervision, will make occasional visits to the three or
four areas in the community which are known as "hang- outs" for large number of drug
abusers in an attempt to inform, on a peer level group, these drug abusers of the
facilities offered at Nemo. In addition, small, specially- trained teams will be pre-
pared to visit the emergency room of the public hospital and jails in the community,
under regulations and conditions established by these institutions, when the need arises.
The actual preventative - rehabilitation program of this component will begin when
the drug abuser or potential drug abuser first enters the center. At the first level he
will find a friendly, non - judgmental atmosphere which will accept him as a person,
providing he is not in the process of violating the law at that time. This atmosphere
6A
is designed to turn the person from a defensive individual to one who is more suscepti-
ble to the advanced levels of service offered by this center. If the individual chooses
to enter into a dialogue with the staff personnel at this point about his own particular
problems, whether they be directly related to drug abuse or not, he will find located
at the center volunteers who have had some degree of training in the area of sensitive
dialogue and listening. He will also find other individuals there who have, by virtue
of education and experience, some skills in direct counseling on a one- to-one basis or
in small groups. This latter group of people will be individuals, such as persons
employed as school counselors, who have had some specialized training relating to drug
problems. For other groups of people who choose not to enter into a dialogue or dis-
cuss his own problems with the friendly, supportive volunteers, a creative arts program
will be instituted. This program is based on the premise that some persons are so with-
drawn and alienated that they find it difficult to engage in an initial dialogue which is
meaningful to them. For these persons, film making, painting, sculpturing and other
art media will be available. To those who choose this form, they will be able to use,
these art media to express the feelings which they are unable to express verbally. The
very' act of being able to express pent -up feelings will release some of the emotional
tension and anxiety which is a motivation for some young people to turn to drugs in the
first place. This initial expression of feelings through using the arts will also provide
the focus for a dialogue or conversation to begin about what this particular art form
means to the person who created it and to those who are viewing it, thus causing the
all- important "breakthrough" which gets a withdrawn individual to begin dialogue on a
meaningful plane in the first place. For example, movie cameras and film would be
available, along with processing equipment and technical assistance. After the film is
6f
processed and viewed, it will form a natural focus for discussion of the film and why
this particular individual chose to make this particular film the way he did. With
very little professional guidance at this level, a dialogue will naturally be able to
follow, not in the context of "how do you feel ?" but "why did you do the film this
way ?" This provides a more natural and less threatening entrance into a group exper-
ience. The some technique can be used with painting, sculpture, or almost any type
of art form. This technique of self - expression for its own value and as a tool to enter
into a relationship with other individuals has rarely been used in the contest of the
drug abuser in this area of the country, but has shown promising results in other areas
where it has been attempted.
After the individual enters into a personal relationship, either through direct ver-
balizing or as a result of verbalizing brought on by use of the various art forms, he
will be evaluated by.a member of the staff who will have each individual under direct
observation. At this point, the staff will determine whether or not the natural inter -
reaction which occurs in a sympathetic, friendly atmosphere fills the need of this indi -'
vidual. If it appears the individual needs, or could use profitably some type of coun-
seling or therapy, he will suggest or refer the individual to a counselor who is present
at the center and whose work has already been mentioned or, in more serious cases of
personality difficulties, will refer the individual to the Adolescent Psychological Services
Center. This center will be located at a suitable place away from Nemo and will pro-
vide, under the direction and control of qualified psychiatrists or certified clinical psy-
chologists, a type and level of group sensitivity training or therapy especially suited to
the individual and to the kinds of personalities who are most susceptible to becoming
drug abusers. In cases where the individual has the financial means, he may be
referred to a private psychiatrist or clinical psychologist of his own choice. In cases
6a
of heroin or barbituate addicts, referrals would be made to the Drug Addiction Center.
The personnel to carry out this program would be a director who would be gen-
erally in charge of the program described and would also have some responsibility in
the area of the creative arts part of the project. In addition, there would be a full -
time training and counseling coordinator. His primary duty would be to supervise and
provide for the preliminary training of approximately 100 people who would serve as the
initial staff of Nemo Center and to coordinate their activities. He will also be respon-
sible for the training and activities of some ten persons who would be given advanced
training to enable them to be Shift Supervisors for the staff of the Nemo Center.
Other staff would include one full -time secretary, one full -time supervisor and a part -
time secretary, plus custodial assistance on an hourly basis. This staffing does not
Include the consulting psychiatrist or the clincial psychologist who would operate the
Adolescent Psychological Services Center on a per -hour basis.
The training for the staff, which would include approximately 100 persons for a
preliminary level. of training and an additional 10 for advanced training, would be pro-
vided on a contract basis by Consultant - Trainers of the Southwest operating out of their
Houston office. This program would begin within one month after grant approval. All
salaried personnel and persons whose services are included in the in -kind contribution
would be in operation on that date. The 110 volunteers would be intergroted into the
program as soon as they were trained and served a short probationary period. It is anti-
cipated all will be available within 6 months after grant approval.
61,
EVALUATION
The proposed program is an innovative project that requires a continuing process
of design and re- design in order to shape and carry on a relevant program to the
changing needs of a variety of young persons. The flexibility that is necessary
requires a multi - faceted evaluation process. There shall be a quarterly evaluation for
the purpose of evaluating the past quarter and projection of priorities and direction for
the next quarter. There shall be one such evaluation at the beginning of the project;
plus four quarterly sessions. This quarterly evaluation will involve all personnel: The
final evaluation will be the responsibility of the Board of Directors of the Drug Abuse
Council and will be conducted by contract with Consultant- Trainers of the Southwest.
This organization will evaluate the program and will turn over its report to the Board
of Directors, who will have the responsibility of turning a satisfactory evaluation into
the project director. There will be a final report which evaluates each step of the
program, with specific attention to the degree to which the goals have been achieved.
6i
TRAINING PROGRAM
For Volunteers who Staff the Center:
The training program will include an orientation session which will deal with
an overview of the goals of the Center, procedures, and criteria for referral.
A listening exercise will be used to enable the volunteer staff to develop the
emphatic relationship.
After a person has received the preliminary training, he will serve as a member
of the staff and receive in -service training.
From the group of in- service volunteers, 100 volunteers will be selected to re-
ceive additional training which will afford greater insight into self and others—
This training will be contracted with Consultant/Trainers of the Southwest.
The Director of Program and Director of Counseling will provide training in
film making, drama, and creative arts for staff working in these areas.
Advance Training:
Advance training will be given to TO persons who will serve as paid staff super-
visors. This training will enable these persons to better work with others and to
identify needs of clients, and the ability to channel clients into constructive
activities.

ADOLESCENT PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES CENTER
-it has been the experience of the Drug Abuse Council working in this community that
certain drug abusers definitely need more concentrated counseling help. This includes
young people addicted to heroin and recently detoxified, those heavily abusing other
drugs, and those with personal difficulties and /or parent - -youth problems of a serious
nature. A major difficulty in our work has been that the community provides no pro-
fessional help for the majority of these youths. Although residential treatment experience
has been better, this is presently beyond our financial capability. As a practical partial
solution to this problem we propose:
1. Adolescent Treatment Center -- Located in space provided by Parkway Presbyterian
Church. Away from the Nemo Center for this more concentrated work and to
allow privacy for clients. This center contains an office and adequate therapy
rooms.
.2. The center would be under the direct supervision of the full -time Director of
Counseling and staffed by a part-time certified clinical psychologist, in addition
to the Director of Counseling.
3• Input to this center would come from Nemo operations, school counselors, Drug
Abuse Council community counselors, physicians, clergy, social workers, etc.
However, all clients would be screened by interview, by the Counselor or
Director choosing their needs and treatment plan.
4. Counseling in the center would consist of:
a. Individual sessions, often with the parents. Much of the early work would
be done by the Director of Counseling, guided by the psychologist. Some
of these sessions would be conducted by a psychologist experienced in drug
s-
Ao
abuse work, hired a/ part -time arrangement with the Corpus Christ Drug
Abuse Council. This trained person is available.
b. Group counseling sessions: Again, supervised by the part -time psychologist,
but in some groups conducted by the Director of Counseling.
C. When therapy is needed on individual basis or in groups, it will be
administered by clinical psychologist or will be referred to another
professional.
5. This program would have immediately available the professional help needed and
should be operational one month after grant approval. Estimated services: six one -hour
individual sessions and fifteen group session hours per week,

11. Addiction Treatment Center
5
The second component of this project concerns the Addiction Treatment Center of
Memorial Medical Center.
This program was approved by "Investigation of New Drug Permit #6686" issued
by the Food and Drug Administration - Office of New Drugs.
The present program is operated under guidance of the Office of New Drugs,
and is supervised by three approved physicians.
Justification for the program, its detailed sturcture - goals, impact and results,
methods and timetable, evaluation, and resources will be forwarded under separate cover
upon receipt of copies from the Office of New Drugs.
Since this program is operated by physician volunteers on limited and donated time,
it has been very restricted in the number of addicts which can be treated. Our experience
has shown that ATC can accommodate only 20 percent of those asking for help. The
federal pro6ationofficer and informed sources have disclosed the existence of over 200
known addicts in the area.
It is proposed that this treatment program be improved and expanded by:
1. Expanding the in -put. This would not be difficult since it is known this
agency offers the viable alternative. A significant increase in applicants
will result when the expanded capabilities of the program become known.
The over -all function of the Drug Abuse Council, as outlined in this pro-
posal, is an additional way of contacting and dissiminating information to
the addict in need of treatment.
2. Addicts are admitted to Memorial Medical Center under the care of a
physician. The additional professional services required by the expansion
a
6-
of service to perform detoxification and evaluation will be performed on
a part -time basis. Most of the expense will be the actual hospitalization,
and this will be borne by the Nueces County Hospital District, which
operates Memorial Medical Center.
3. Upon release from the hospital the adult addicts are followed at regular
- intervals in the Samaritan Clinic at Memorial Medical Center to receive
supportive care. This care includes the administration of Methadone when
indicated, psychiatric support, and help from the local Vocational Rehabil-
itation workers, the Samaritan Clinic Social Service Department, and the
Drug Abuse Council.
4. The young addict shall be referred to the Adolesent Psychological Services
Center, or the Nemo Creative Arts Center, when appropriate.
As was previously mentioned, the expanded program will adhere to the guidelines
established by the Food and Drug Administration,

INVESTIGATIONAL DRUG: Methadone Hydrochloride
(dl- 4,4 -di phenyl- 6- dimethylamino- 3- heptanone)
SOURCE of DRUG: Methadone hydrochloride will be obtained through
usual pharmaceutical trade channels as presently marketed
for use by physicians in the United States of America.
PROPOSED DRUG usEs Methadone hydrochloride is to be used to
attempt to control drug addiction in persons addicted to
heroin, morphine or related drugs. The drug will be used
to induce a state of tolerance and thereby block the effects
Of the undesired addiction.
PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIOIAL BASIS FOR THE STUDY: Heroin addiction
has always been the most difficult to eliminate once establishe
Regardless of the method and support used the relapse rate
was in excess of 851.
The national explasion in drug abuse resulted in renexed
efforts to develop an effective treatment. Methadone was

known to be the best drug to prevent the withdrawl syndrome,
and that it blocked the drug craving. Prom this studies
were undertaken by several groups to see it drug abuse
Gould be controlled by blacking with methadone and main-
taining this blocking level for a prolonged period. The
most encouraging results have been those reported by the
New York group led by Dr. y. P. Dole and Marie $yswander.
In a group of unmotivated long standing criminal addicts
they report a success ratio of over 950, Independent
evaluators and repeat studies by other groups have borne
out this success ratio.
This method has proven so successful that it has come to
be aocepted as probably the treatment of choice today.
PROPOSED STUDY: TO test the effectivenss and feasibility of
rehabilitating morphine, heroin and related drug addicts
In the community environment by a selected group of physicians
supported by the community resources usually available.
'TOfeliminate such addbotion by using methadone hydrochloride
to induce a state of tolerance and maint-ain it far a long
Period. In selected individuals after a prolonged period
Of good adjustment to attempt to eliminate all drug use by
a very gradual withdrawl of methadone also.

PATIENT SELECTION: Individuals will be admitted to the study who
have an established addtotion to morphine, heroin or related
drugs on a voluntary basis.
An established addict within the meaning of this study
Shall be one who requires regular gu7.ar doses of the addicting
drug and in its absence will develop the withdraw]. syndrome.
Individuals will be admitted to the study voluntarily even
'When they have presented themselves as a result of court
order, condition of parolee or other legal oompulsion
Provided they agree voluntarily to participate and can
show that they have been represented at the time of such
deolsion by an attorney of their choice.
Individuals will be discharged from the study for continuous
y failure to cooperate with the treatment or persist in drug
use in spite of the treatment being given,
PROOEDIIREt Phase Is Hospitalization:
As a sign Of willingness to participate as well as to assure
good initial control, the individual is to be first admitted
to either Memorial Medical Center or Spohn Hospital. At
this time a complete medical history and physieial examination
Shall be done and recorded in line with the usual medical
standards. Additionally a complete personal and drug

lethadone will be used to stabilize the individual so
that he is free of major symptoms of the withdrawl syndrome.
Then the state of tolerance will be gradually introduced.
The individual is to be discharged from primary hospital
care when he is stabilized, understands the program of inducing
tolerance, and has had several negative screening tests for
the Offending drug.
Phase 2: Outpatient Stabilization and Full Tolerance:
The dose of methadone shall be increased to induce full
tolerance and maintained at that level. The responsible physician
Will see the individual at least weekly for evaluation, presc_intion
Of dose anA guidance for rehabiliation. laboratory studies shall
be done randomly but frequently to have objective evidence of the
desired drug freedom.
The Investigational Team will together review all patient
records monthly.
Phase 3. Fiaintainanee Periods
After the state of tolergnce has been reached, the individual
Will be maintained at a drug level which blocks the abused drug.
This state will be maintained for an indefinite period in most but
in a few selected individuals who agree to try, the dose will be
very gradually reduced on a long term withdrawl program.

INDUOTION OF TOLERANCE ; - That amount of methadone sufficient
to prevent the withdrawl syndrome will be given daily in
divided doses morning and night. After intitial stabilization
at this level for one to two weeks the dose will be gradually
increased by 5 to 10 mgs at 5 to 7 day intervals until a
blocking level of $0 to 120 mg is reached.
At this level the total daily dose is held constant while
the morning dose in increased gradually by 5 to 10 mgs while
the evening dose is decreased by a like amount until finally
the whole dose is given in a single daily dose.
The indication for tolerance shall be the total elimination
of craving for the offending drug,, the absence'of euphoric
action of either the methadone or heroin.
All drug doses will be administered under supervision until
a long reoord of successful participation is established.
LABORATORY TESTSi
All patients will have frequent laboratory analysis to obtain
objective evidence of their freedom from the offending drugs.
Upon hospitalization suitable tests will be done to help
substantiate the story of drug addiction. During the rest
of the hospital stay only randomn tests will be done since
we see little paint in proving effectiveness until the
blocking drug level has been reached and maintained for a

that our laboratory studies should be done to prove success.
It.is for this reason that our main test effort will be
exerted during the outpatient phase when the state sof
of tolerance is being reached. Also should the individual
fall to show up for medication then tests would be done
for offending drug use.
We would think that an initial test
and then one or two
shortly before hospital discharge would be sufficient at
that time. Then tests should be done daily for a selected
week at tolerance level, and weekly for seven_, mont::a.
A positive result should result in several repeats at
auspicious times. Specimens should be taken at every visit
even though only a limited few may be tested.
The Memorial Redical center Hospital baboratary will be
set up ae the local laboratory to Perform the tests when
the demand justifies the cost, and the results will be checked
by usual standards and duplicate specimen analyses by Other
reputable laboratories.

III. EDUCATIONAL
COMPONENT
Crime and the misuse of drugs are growing problems among youth and young
adults in Corpus Christi. The problems exist in one form or another at all socioeco-
nomic levels. Crime and drug abuse can and do occur throughout the City, regardless
of education, race, religion, economic, or social level. Each is a social problem,
and the two are increasingly interrelated.
The crisis relating to crime and drug abuse which exists in Corpus Christi today
results from sweeping social changes offecting the whole American society. The role
of the family as the primary agent for socializing youths into the fabric of everyday
life has been radically effected by the new and urgent forces pushing Americans from
all sides: automation; urbanization; scientific breakthroughs in communications and
biology; and dramatic shifts in moral, ethical and religious values. While the family
role itself has shifted, education has become the major social instrument with which
young People adjust to their environment.
Mother contributing factor to the spread of drug abuse and associated crime
Problems seems to stem, paradoxically enough, from an attitude shared by many youths
in Corpus Christi: a strong feeli ng of love for others and a
genuine concern for peer
Group members. One result of this attitude is an attempt to meet new psychological
needs of the self and of others by experimenting with forms of relief and escape which
are negatively sanctioned by traditional institutions.
Adults often fail to understand the needs of youth or such causes for their turning
to drugs as group pressures, emotional problems, thrill, or the influence of a drug_
oriented society. Some communities take the ostrich approach feeling there is no need
for such a program among their young people. National and state statistics, however,
�a
suggest that educators and parents are often unaware of the extent to which drugs are
being used in their community. Some communities are so punitive and arbitrary that
they alineate the drug user and lose all chance of reclaiming him. Corpus Christi feels
that all students can profit from an awareness of drug use, how a pusher operates, and
the dangers of drug abuse. Because students will leave the community to attend col-
lege or hold down a job, knowledge of drug abuse and its relationship to crime can
Prove helpful. It is generally felt that education is the best method of preventing
problems caused by the misuse of drugs.
GOALS
The involvement of youth in crime is equally as critical as their involvement in
drug misuse and abuse. Many times one leads to the other, but both are definitely a
symptom of a greater need. To meet these deeper needs and thus reach the causes of
drug abuse and crime, educators must recognize the human relations needs of students.
Two methods have been proposed to facilitate this understanding:
To field test commercially prepared and teacher made materials in ele-
mentary, junior, and senior high school classrooms so that the most
effective of these can be recommended for quantity purchases for use
in Crime and Drug Education Programs.
To train selected teachers and administrators from each elementary,
junior high, and senior high school in the laboratory method of instruc-
tion which has proven effective in changing the affective behavior of
young people. The focus of such training is on developing positive
attitudes and value systems rather than developing cognitive skills.
IMPACT AND RESULTS
The field testing of materials will provide the district with a
effective teachin list of the most
g materials (films, filmstrips, printed materials, etc.) for the local
Program. The materials will be keyed to concept and grade level with suggestions for
most effective use. a
The training of key personnel will provide the district with a cadre of teachers
and administrators who are trained in the laboratory method. The program will be
more effectively supported on each campus as a result of the school principal's parti-
cipation in the training program.
METHODS AND TIMETABLE
A. Field testing materials.
During the summer of 1970, the Corpus Christi
Drug Education.
Independent School District will develop a teaching guide for its program on Crime and
(This Program will be written at the District' s expense).
Ing guide will define the scope and sequence of the program, P ense The teach -
P suggest activities for
instruction, and list resources available to instruction.
During the month of September 1970, six teachers from Corpus Christi Public
Schools will select from the many commercially prepared resource materials available
those which seem to be most likely to accomplish the goals of the Crime and Drug
Education Program developed by the district.
These teachers will be paid a stipend to work after school hours as a team to
select, order, and preview materials. Beginning in October 1970, these materials will
then be field tested in, their classrooms and other classrooms in the district. The mater-
ials will be evaluated in terms of their effectiveness in accomplishing the objectives
s
cc
of the program.
The field testing of the material in classro
Durin oms will continue through March 1971,
g April and May, the six teachers will re
P Pare utilization guides which key the
materials to the appropriate concept and grade level of the district's program,
B. Training of Key Personnel.
Consultants from National Leadership Methods
will be retained to train selected teachers and administrators from each school in the
laboratory approach to teaching attitudes and values. The National Leadership Meth s
od
Programs are nationally recognized for their effectiveness in training teachers to develop
affective behavior.
The National Leadership Methods organization will conduct a 2 1/2 day workshop
In August for approximately 90 teachers. An additional 3 day workshop will be con-
. ducted during the fall on school time. Substitutes will be utilized
m to relieve approxi-
ately 60 teachers (one from each school) fora 3 day training session. Sixty princi-
pals will also attend this 3 day workshop.
EVALUATION
The National Leadership Methods program includes pre- and post - testing of work-
shop participants. The gain in the artici s ability to utilize laboratory P pa nt
develo in methods of
P g attitudes will be documented. Principal and teacher observation of student
attitudes changes during the 1971 -72 school year will be noted in anecdotal records.
The students observed will be those taught by the participating teachers.
The amount of materials identified for use and the description of their use will be
a document that con be evaluated only on its usefulness to the district. This list will
be utilized by the district in purchasing the most effective materials on the market for
0 d
use In Crime and Drug Education instruction. The teaching suggestions for the most
appropriate use of the materials will be evaluated by questionnaire by teachers actually
using the material identified and purchased.
RESOURCES
The supervision of the educational component will be provided by Mr. Carlos
Davis, consultant for Health and Physical Education, Division of Instruction, Corpus
Christi Indpendent School District.
The six teachers who will field test the commercial materials will include
2 elementary teachers who are module chairmen or team leaders
in Health and Science for their school.
* 2 junior high teachers who teach Health and Physical Education or
Science
* 2 senior high teachers who teach Health or Social Studies
The teachers selected will have taught in our district for a minimum of 3 years
and who have demonstrated their expertise in the use of instructional media.
The National Leadership Methods b e
organization is headed g y Mr. Robert T. Davis
and Dr. Paul Rothaus, 1305 San
Antonio Street, Austin, Texas. This organization has
conducted training programs for the Austin Public Schools and have been retained by
the Texas Education
Agency to provide training for implementing the Texas Plan on
Crime and Drug Education.

IV CORPUS CHRISTI POLICE DEPARTMENT 0
GOALS
The goals of Component Number 4 is to more effectively utilize the time and increase
the efficiency of our present seven -man Narcotic em to Squad and enable them actively
work more cases of suspected narcotics violations.
It will also enable them to improve
the quantity and quality of evidence to assist the Prosecuting Attomey in obtaining con-
victions,
IMPACT AND RESULTS
The purchase of the requested equipment should result in an almost immediate increase in
number of arrests and in the quality of the cases prepared for the Prosecuting Attorney.
At present, the Corpus Christi Police Deportment has no surveillance equipment except
binoculars. The very nature of narcotics offenses are such that they are conducted in
secret and are very difficult to observe.
In addition, many drug abusers are extremely
shrewd and it is most difficult for individuals, even in an unmarked car, to get close
enough to
g a crime in progress to accurately see the activity which is taking place, Since
Police officers very rarely accidently discover a
narcotics crime in progress, the techni-
ques of narcotics investigation involves the use of informers, undercover agents and sur-
veillance. The camera equipment requested will permit narcotics agents to place indiv iduals
or locations under photographic
be unduly surveillance under conditions where they themselves will not
undulY exposed to view '
y the offender. An undercover agent who makes a purchase
from a narcotics seller must, of course, testify to such sale in court at the time of trial.
By the very nature of the offense, it is very rare that anyone else is present at the sale
except the defendant or his close and trusted friends. Therefore, sale cases frequently
f
develop into a "swearing match" where the iury is called upon to determine which of
two People is telling the truth. This is true regardless of whether the defendant claims
the sale never took place, or that the defense of entrapment is present. These two de-
fenses are, of course, the most frequent in narcotics
trials. The small transmitter and tape
recording equipment will permit undercover agents or informers to be

This tape may be used, in certain circumstances, as evidence
in trial and also permits the recording Personnel to remain well hidden. In addition, some
narcotics cases, especially those involving the sale of a very large quantity of drugs, can
result in considerable danger to the informer or undercover agent who is making the pur_
chase. With our present limited a ui ment those officers who are assigned to the task of
supporting the informer or undercover agent must stay as close to him as possible in order
to come to his assistance if needed. This means that these agents must run a serious risk
Of exposing themselves, thereby causing the sale to not take place and also causing sus,
picion to be placed upon the informer or undercover agent. With an undercover agent or
informer who Is carrying small, compact electronics on his erson

porting police officers to remain a safe distance from the scene of the transaction, since
they have confidence that they are fully aware of what is going on by monitoring the

�g
The request for vehicle and mobil radio is dependent upon the action of the Corpus
Christi City Council in adopting a new budget beginning fiscal year August, 7970.
This department has requested that the level of enforcement in the Narcotis Section be
increased by the addition of two (2) narcotics officers. The applicant is not requesting
any Federal funds to assist in paying these officers, nor are these officers' salaries being
offered as a matching contribution. We do request that financial assistance be granted
in purchasing two (2) items of basic equipment for each narcotic team. This includes an
automobile of the some type which is now being used by narcotics officers and a mobile
radio to be installed in said vehicle on the regularly assigned Corpus Christi Police
frequencies.
METHODS AND TIMETABLE
Purchase orders will be issued within one month after the grant is approved and equipment
Put in use as soon as manufacturer can deliver it, about 60 to 90 days after order is
Placed. All equipment will be in use within one year from grant approval.
EVALUATION
This equipment will be able to be evaluated by a substantial effective increase of case
load per narcotics officer. It should result in an increased number of arrests. The con-
viction rate of arrested persons should also improve although this will be difficult to
evaluate since many factors influence conviction rates and since there is frequently a sub-
stantial time lag between arrest and trial.
�hh
RESOURCES
Personnel now in Narcotics are able to use much of this equipment now. Technicians at
I local reputable business, Coastal Communications Company, have offered to train nor -
cotics officers in the use of those items with which law enforcement personnel are not
familiar.

CORPUS CHRISTI DRUG ABUSE COUNCIL
The Corpus Christi Drug Abuse Council, Inc., is an organization founded in
February, 1969, as a community approach toward reducing abuse of drugs in the
Corpus Christi area. It was evident that the few existing conventional approaches
were inadequate and that no "experts" in drug abuse existed in our community.
The Council built on the premise that the combined experiences and talents of a
wide cross section of youth- interested people would bring progress. The Council's
work has always been directed and performed through a combination of disciplines.
Most significant categories are: physicians, clergy, attorneys, law enforcement,
school administrators and counselors, young people, pharmacists and psychologists -
psychiatrists.
The Council is governed by a Board of Directors and is chartered under the
State of Texas as an incorporated, non - profit organization.
Four major program areas, each with an operation committee, are presently
working:
3. Speakers aker =eau, A. L Lane, M.D., Chairman: This is an organized
Program to put teams of informed speakers out into the community so that the older
generation can be objectively informed on facts about drug abuse. Using materials
and information supplied by the Council, these speakers outline attitudes and
approaches which will lessen drug use. Pr
Pharmacist and a "What Can Parents Do" paanelmsaresarranged throughtaacentalaDrug
Abuse Council office. Over 70 speakers are already trained and working on this
program.
Since November 1969, this service has filled three speaking requests per
week. Additions gradually are being made to the speakers list. Professional help,
experience, and resource materials will improve their effectiveness as the proposed
program matures.
2. Counseling Service, Mr. Ray Falk, Chairman, .(Mr. Falk is Director of
Guidance for the Corpus C ttisti Independent School District): These are individuals,
experienced in counseling, who have been specially trained in drug abuse facts.
They are available to young people facing decisions in the drug area and wanting
individual counsel.
Fourteen trained counselors are available. Most contracts are made through
the Drug Abuse Council office. Referrals come from teachers, school counselors,
Parents, or the abusers themselves. This activity will greatly increase as the service
becomes known and an additional 12 -to -14 counselors are trained. Under the pro-
posal, these people (already counselors by profession) can be given the special train-
ing needed to deal effectively with drug abuse.
3. "Nemo" - The Center, A. W. Morgan /Reverend C. Wayne Batchelder,
Co- Chairmen: This is a large three-story house, 425 South Broadway, between
First Presbyterian Church and the YMCA, located in the central city area. This
location is easily available to all sectors of the community's youth. It is a place
of contact between the drug abuser or potential user and specially trained youth
workers.
Since its opening in January, 1970, Nemo has enlisted over 170 volun-
teer workers. All are in some level of training given by youth workers, physicians,
and psychiatrists. Forty -two are completing advanced training.
An average of 300 young people a week have visited this center. All
ethnic and economic groups are well represented. Records are kept on conversations
to evaluate needs and direction.
4. Addiction Treatment Service, G. M. McCaskey, M.D., Chairman: This
service was begun in February, 970, in response to our local, alarming increase in
heroin use and addiction. Direct encouragement came from the Federal District
Judge and the U.S. Probation Officer. From the beginning there have been inade-
quate resources to handle more than 20 percent of the addicts requesting help. This
service is described elsewhere.
5. Additional Services:
A. Drug Abuse Library, used by workers in the Council, young people,
college students, parents, and professional people.
B. Central office referral services (open afternoons) to serve as a
clearinghouse for information and referral.
6. The Drug Abuse Council has produced two, one -day seminars on drug
abuse, October 4, 1969, and April 4, 1970, at which 148 interested persons from
this area participated.

PROJECT SUMMARY
The Corpus Christi Police Division has no community relation program within
its own structure and has never had any in- service training developed and prepared
within the division to train its officers in the relationship between law enforce-
ment officers and the public it serves. The proposed project is a "sensitivity"
training program and will be conducted by qualified certified clinical psychologists
with group therapy experience. Its purpose is to give the police officer insight
into his own personality and to emphasize, at the feeling level, the impact which
a policeman may have on the people with whom he comes into contact. The program
will also be used as a specific training vehicle, in that its completion will be
a prerequisite for the officers selected to serve in the proposed Community Relations
Team. In addition, this training, which will initially involve twenty police officers,
will be used as an experimental program to determine techniques and methods for
possible future programs of a broader nature. Although the plan involves a group
experience only for police officers and their leaders, it does involve, at some
level, other members of the community from various walks of life in a didactic
setting. Its evaluation would be accomplished by giving the participating officers
at least six standard psychological tests at the beginning and at the end of the
basic program to determine effect of the program. In addition, six months after
the end of the program, a one -day marathon sensitivity session would be held with
the same police officers to determine whether any change in attitude or behavior
would be of a temporary or permanent nature. This program would consist of twenty -
four two- and -one -half hour sessions. The first hour would be devoted to didactic
material and the second hour - and -a -half would be devoted to basic encounter group
experience. There will be one one - and -one -half day marathon session near the
end of the basic program.

required justification ..d explanation of U. project budget.
It�Professional Services
The two listed individuals, Dr. George Kramer and Dr. Charles Clark, are 1i
certified clinical psychologists with considerable experience in leading basic
i
encounter groups. TlTeir fee is based on an hourly rate for the weekly sessions
at $30 per hour for fifty hours. To addition, the remainder of the fee is computed
at $50 per person per marathon session. This fee is equivalent to or. lower than,
the standard fee for similiar services in this area. Each of the t
i
groups will
have a two co- leader with a Master of Psychology Degree and some experience in group
leadership. Their fee is based on a charge of $10 per hour for the entire program, C
including the marathon sessions. -The fee for the Secretary - Co- ordinator is
based on a rate of $3 per liour for an estimated two hundred hours work. In addition )
i !
to performing routine secretarial tasks, this individual would have responsibility
-
t- for selecting the -outside'paiticipants in the psychodramas and would have responsibility
i for scheduling and any rehearsals which may be necessary. State Law (Article 1583 -1
s
of the Texas Penal Code) prohibits a municipality from requiring or permitting an
Officer to work more tfian, forty hours per week unless said officer is paid time -and-
a -half overtime. It would be impractical for the City of Corpus Christi to require
twenty officers to participate in this program while on duty. This number of officers
would constitute almost ten percent of the total force. Therefore, it is necessary
4 - 1
to pay each attending officer at his time - and -a -half rate. Since this program is i
primarily for patrolmen afi& first line supervisors, the average time -and -a -half
rate, at present, wage scales, would be approximately
y $5 per hour for each hour of
• the program. Obtaining non -paid volunteers would not be successful, since their
1
Application Page 3a
attendance at each session could not be legally required. Any encounter or
sensitivity program depends heavily on regular attendance by each person. Indeed,
in a program such as this, the very time that a participant feels he does not
want to attend is usually the same point in the development of the program where
the project would be most beneficial to the officer. Therefore, these officers
must be paid if their attendance is to be required and if, at the same time,
the present level of police service is maintained. An important part of this
program is a controlled relationship between the officer and certain outside
participants. These participants would be persons in the community who have
had experience and skill in psychodramas and would also include members of
identifiable minority groups with whom the officer in the field must come into
daily contact. This budget provides a flat payment of $10 to each outside
participant for the time spent in his share of the program. It is felt some
payment is necessary to obtain reliable and regular attendance when requested.
In addition, experience in other similiar programs where police officers were paid
for attending while outside participants, especially minority groups, were not
paid, created some degree of resentment among those outside participants. To
pay the police officer and to request minority group representatives to donate
their time would tend to create a feeling, in some persons, that the police officer
is of a greater or superior value than the outside participant. This situation,
of course, is exactly the contrary point which the group experience is designed
to establish.
Equipment
The rental of audio - visual equipment would be used to videotape a certain
Application Page 3b
part of the sessions for the purpose of re- showing them at a later date in order
to emphasize a point that the officers have, or have not, changed their attitude
and behavior. In the case of the psychodramas, a videotape would be a vehicle
for the officers to review the film and discuss among themselves feelings which
they might not reveal in the presence of the unsympathetic or hostile outside
participants.
Supplies
This program would use, as a basic text, the book, "Human Understanding in
Industry." In addition, each officer would be given at least six standard
psychological tests at the beginning and at the end of the program. These tests
are the Edwards Personal Preference Test, Neuroticism Scale Questionnaire, Firo -B,
Sixteen Personal Factor, Study of Values, and the Otis Gamma Intelligence Test.

Please state clearly and in detail, within ten pages If possible, the aim of the project, pmisely what will be done, who will be
involved and what is expected to result. Use the following major headings:

t GOALS
the goal of this project will be
(1) To assist the police division in selecting the best qualified and best
persons for a possible future Community Relations team.
(2) To assist twenty of the police officers who are in constant contact with
the general public to gain insight into, their own personalities and
motovations and tq,make them more aware of the impact and effect they have
on 'the public they are dealing with and on their fellow police officers.
(3) To test and develop thchniques of•encounter training for use in an extended
f program involving more of the police officers, if this program is considered
successful.
-IMPACT AND RESULTS
The immediate impact of this program would result from the fact that a little
d
more than ten percent of the Police Division's field officers would have a better
understanding of themselves and of human behavior in general. This, it is expected,
would-result in the officer looking upon the public he serves in a more understanding
and less punitive manner, even though he would still be expected to fully enforce
the law-
_ It is not,anticipated that this program will result in more or less
arrests, nor more or less convictions, but should result in an' improved attitude
I
z
C towards the general public. It is possible that this percentage of officers, with
a more progressive view of themselves as policemen vis -a -vis general public, would
also have some effect on the attitude of those officers who did not participate
Application Page 6a
METHODS AND TIMETABLE
The proposed project would be carried out in five stages over a three -month
period. The plan requires the officer's attendance in training sessions twice a
week, probably in the evening, for two -and- one -half hours.
i
Stage 1 would be the initial contact with the police officer and is designed
to accomplish two things. First, the standard psychological tests would be
administered and, secondly, the goals, procedures, and hand -out material would
be explained and given to the participants.
Stage 2 would begin the sensitivity training. Each officer is placed in a
small group and is given the opportunity, with professional guidance, to learn
more about his personality and the impact he has on other people. The basic
encounter group would be used in the last hour- and - one -half of the evening. The
first hour of the evening would be used for more structured bype of teaching
material. A number of techniques would be used, ranging from standard lecture
formats to the use of psychodramas. Some of the sessions would involve the
presence of the police officers' wives, since they, and their attitude toward
pooice work in general, can have a significant effect on the officer's view of
his work. At the present time, the project plans to include the wives of the
police officers in one of the groups and to exclude the wives in the other group
as an experimental technique to see what effect, if any, the presence of the
wives will have in the results.
Stage 3 of this project would be going on simultaneously with Stage Two.
It would revolve around the idea of teaching the policeman how to use his increased
sensitivity after he gets it. This would involve videotapes of police encounters,
psychodramas, role playing and much didactic lecture type material designed to
help him understand irrational uses of power. Heavy reliance will be placed on
Application Page 6b
techniques in which the policeman is placed in a situation similiar to that which
he might encounter in his job and promote group discussion of the dynamics of his
personality impact in this setting.
Stage 4 of this project would involve a "pause" to go over these psychological
test results administered to the officers. In the psychological evaluation of
these tests, emphasis would be placed on the discussion of personality problems
toward the inefficiencies and insensitivities that might result from the different
kinds of emotional problems that the officers have. An attempt would be made to
talk frankly to the officers about their own emotional hand -ups and neurotic ways
of solving problems.
Stage 5 of the project would involve re- testing the group to draw some
objective conclusions pertaining to the degree of change in their basic attitudes,
racial prejudice, and general sensitivity to their own and other people's feelings
as a result of the training program. An outline of the subject matter to be
contained in this sensitivity program is attached hereto.
In addition to the various sessions, there would be a one -and- one -half day
marathon sensitivity session with the police participants between the 22nd and
23rd session. The outline also includes a one -day marathon group sensitivity
training session for the purpose of evaluating the permanency of the training
which has been given and to discuss the particular problems which the sensitivity
program itself may have given the police officer in the course of his work.
•
RESOURCES
All resources for this project are now available in the community. Qualified
personnel are available and the key professional people have agreed to conduct
the program. Sufficient City funds for training purposes have been appropriated
Application Page 6c
and are unencumbered to provide the City's matching requirements. Although the
exact location of the project has not been determined, a number of facilities
(mostly in public buildings) are adequate to the needs of the project and no
difficulty is anticipated in securing their use.
