ATTACHMENT III EXPLANATION OF ITEM F -4 MOBILE PHONE LEASE. Of prime importance in a developing tactical intelligence situation is the capability for field operators to be able to be in constant and immediate communications with the Director of the Organized Crime Control Unit as well as the Administrative head of the'agency involved. Decisions must constantly be made in a field environment which regular Intelligence Agents do not have the authority to make. An attempt to obtain this authority from the Director of the Organized Crime Control Unit or the Administrative head of the agency from a field environment requires that the communications be routed through a dispatcher and then second hand to the person who must make the decision. In many cases this is simply not feasible in a developing intelligence situation. Security precludes transmitting such information through a dispatch office and the Director of the Organized Crime Control Unit must have first -hand knowledge of the developing situation in order to make an immediate and valid judgement. This is difficult to obtain through an intermediary by radio communications. The use of mobile telephones will permit any Intelligence Agent in the field to obtain guidance or decisions from his Director or from the Administrative head of the agency, regardless of where that person is. Full explanation may be given the Director so that valid decisions could be immediately forth- coming. In a dynamic surveillance situation where more than one car is in- volved, communications between the cars will be direct and will not be limited to the normal amount of free air time available in a shortwave police radio operation. Often during a dynamic mobile surveillance situation, information is needed from various contributing agencies. This information will be more readily obtained by direct conversations on the mobile telephone, to persons who were directly involved in the search request without having to go through an intermediary dispatcher. Security is the backbone and the prime requisite of any intelligence operation. It is not difficult for criminals to obtain the frequencies on normally operating police radio systems, thus permitting monitoring equipment to be -obtained by persons who are involved in the Criminal Intelligence or Organized Crime field. This problem has constantly plagued Intelligence units in every Police de- partment in the land. The use of mobile radio telephones, while not pre- cluding this possibility, diminishes the probability to a degree acceptable in all but the very largest cases. The use of a mobile radio channel is a random selection based on the number of channels and which channels are available at the time the call is placed. To adequately monitor the channels in the Coastal Bend region, a counter intelligence operation would have to have at least eleven monitoring stations each manned by a person on that particular channel. This is outside the realm of possibility in a great majority of intelligence cases. , The use of scramblers on both telephonic equipment and radio communications has been considered. There are several draw backs to the use of such ATTACHMENT III (Continued) equipment. 1. Both the transmitting unit and the receiving unit must be equipped with scrambler equipment. This precludes the use of equipment not located in a central headquarters. 2. Many of the types of scrambling equipment on'the market give in- adequate service and frequent downtime is experienced. 3. To obtain maximum usage from scrambling devices, both telephonic equipment and radio. equipment must be equipped with scramblers. 4. Any RF interference more directly affects transmission through scrambling devices than it does in normal radio communications. In the past the Police Department, Corpus Christi, Texas, has experienced numerous difficulties in communication by mobile radio with the dispatcher and also mobile unit to mobile unit. To wit, several organizations and individuals in the Corpus Christi and Nueces County area that are involved in criminal activity and subversive activity have purchased and are using highly sophisticated monitoring equipment to keep abreast of Police activity and the Corpus Christi Police Department and the Organized Crime Unit has been effected considerably by this equipment. One example, would be while working a surveillance, the Unit is unable to converse with one another as to conditions developing during the surveillance as the subjects monitoring us become aware of what is taking place and change up their plans. In several instances, subjects have been warned by their friends with monitoring equipment that they are under surveillance. Extreme difficulties have arisen when trailing subjects that are involved in criminal activity as they have monitoring equipment in the automobiles they drive. At large gatherings which have signs of developing into civil disorder and possible riot peak, the Chief of Police has experienced extreme difficulty in communicating with Unit personnel as the leaders of these groups have monitored the information passed on the radio between the Unit officers and the Chief in regards to major decisions at the staff level on how to cope with the situation. The Chief of Police, along with the personnel of the Organized Crime Control -Unit, agree that the use of mobile telephones in the Unit's vehicles would rectify any existing problems and would, in the future, promote tight security of information of the Organized Crime Control Unit. With the use of mobile telephones the Unit can function at a much higher degree of effi- ciency and with a minimum chance of detection. The use of mobile telephones gives the Unit the capability of conversing with other law enforcement agencies while in a mobile state, which would otherwise be impossible with radio equipment of various frequencies. In total summation, the use of mobile telephones is a new concept in law enforcement and has been overlooked as -a vital and needed tool. Its worth and value have been proven in industry and the Corpus Christi Police Depart- ment would prove its value and worth in law enforcement. Page 5 TEXAS CRIMINAL JUSTICE COUNCIL APPLICATION FOR GRANT Project Plan and Supporting Data This section constitutes the heart of the grant application. It is the applicant's detailed statement of the project —its aims, precisely what will be done, who will be involved, and what is expected to result. With the project budget, it constitutes primary evidence to CJC of the soundness of the project, the care and planning that has gone into its formulation, and the responsibility and qualifications of the applicant and others who will be involved in carrying it out. This section consists of two parts: the summary and the detailed project description. Summary In the space below, write a brief summary of total project not to exceed 200 words. An Organized Crime Control Council has been formed and is composed of the heads of the Corpus Christi Police Division, the Nueces County Sheriff's Department and the District Attorney's Office. The Council selected the Chief of Police as Chairman. Each agency head has selected qualified men to serve on the Unit. A Police Captain has been selected to serve as Director of the Unit under the direction of the Chairman.' The Chairman calls meetings of the Council on a regular basis (at least once` a month) as needed and advises and seeks the advice of the other two agency heads concerning actions of the Unit. The Director is responsible for work performed by the Unit, establish work priorities and coordinate all activities with the Chairman. The Unit will detect, control and prevent organized crime in Nueces County by directing its attention towdrd areas in which organized crime is known to infiltrate.

Nature of Problem and Needs to be Met ,a. Existence of Organized Crime The Nueces County Organized Crime Control Unit files indicate that 1,361 local subjects are suspected or known to be engaged in organized criminal activities. The Unit to date has compiled dossiers on 462 individuals in- volved in the transportation and sale of narcotics, 101 in receiving and concealing stolen property (fencing), 18 professional shoplifters, 68 in- volved in bookmaking and policy operations, 80 habitual gamblers, 71 in- volved in organized frauds and swindles, 62 Bandidos and their close associates, 38 syndicated prostitutes and procurors, 38 militants and 8 suspects with possible syndicated connections. b. Quantitative Data Regarding Organized Crime The indices of the Corpus Christi Police Department and the Nueces County Sheriff's Department reflect the following statistical information regarding organized crime: (See next page) • • NUECES COUNTY ORGANIZED CRIME CONTROL UNIT Arrests and Indictments Convictions are still pending. The District Attorney's Office has a backlog of cases. Acceptance Pending .

The District Attorney's Office has a backlog of cases. c. Needs A noted authority has said that all street crime is in some way connected to organized crime. This statement may be somewhat exaggerated, however, Unit members believe that much of the, crime problem in Corpus Christi and Nueces County is a result of the activities of higher echelon organized criminals, particularly narcotics suppliers. The elimination and control of organized crime oftentimes necessitates long, complicated surveillances by specially trained investigators and compilation and analysis of large amounts of seemingly unrelated incoming data into usable intelligence information. Without an Organized Crime Unit these investigations would not be conducted primarily due to manpower shortage and local organized criminals would be free to operate largely un- detected. d. Need for CJC Assistance In order to detect and control organized crime in this area, the Nueces County Organized Crime Control Unit began operation November 1, 1972 with funding by the CJC under Grant 72G2. The files contain individual dossiers on 1,361 subjects known or suspected to be engaged in organized crime in the local area plus 2,063 dossiers on traveling organized crime figures com- piled from information provided by the LEIU, periodical publications such as' the Intelligence Service Bulletin (Texas DPS, Austin) and the Law Enforcement Bulletin (Texas DPS, Austin) and subjects discussed at professional con- ferences such as the Texas LEIU Association Conference held in Fort Worth on February 26, 1973. Since the beginning of the project, all agencies have received the intelligence information they requested (on a need to know basis). Individual dossiers totaling 267 have been disseminated to the De- partment of Public Safety. Financial assistance by the CJC is requested for the Nueces County Organized Crime Control Unit for the year beginning November'l, 1973 and ending October 31, 1974. Neither City nor County budgets for next year.provide funds for full operation of the Unit. The rapid development now taking place in South Texas along with the naivete of a large percentage of the citizens toward crime could provide numerous opportunities for organized criminals to establish careers here and start their encroachment on the State of Texas. The continuation of this project is vital to the future of Nueces County as it changes from a predominantly rural to a predominantly urban area. 2. Groups affected and Benefitted The Nueces County Sheriff, Corpus Christi Chief of Police and the District Attorney are furnished intelligence produced by the Unit by project director, Captain K. A. Bung, at monthly meetings of the Organized Crime Council and on other occasions as needed. Current information helps each of these men evaluate priorities and make decisions in the direction of his department and better law enforcement is the result. The cooperation of these three agencies will be a major factor in the successful detection, apprehension and prosecution of organized criminals in the area. The Unit, with Investigators from both the Police Division and the Sheriff's Office, has been instrumental in increased collaboration between these two agencies in important organized crime cases. 3. Goals and Objectives ' a. Project Goal The primary goal of the Nueces County Organized Crime Control Unit is that stated in the 1973 Criminal Justice Plan for Texas, "containment, reduction, prevention of organized crime in all forms" in Nueces County by "investigation, apprehension and successful prosecution of these per- petrators of organized crime ". The Unit will also participate fully in the organized crime intelligence network being developed for the State of Texas by the DPS and regional and national networks that will be operating in future years. b. Specific Objectives 1) Increase organized crime arrests by 8 %. 2) Increase District Attorney's acceptance rate by 10%. 3) Increase conviction rate by 20 %. 4) Decrease the dismissal rate by 30 %. c. Unit Objectives 1) Increase individual dossiers by 150. 2) Contribute at least 300 dossiers to DPS. 3) Furnish intelligence information to 100% of an anticipated 230 requests. d. Non - qualified Project Objectives 1) Achieve better cooperation and less professional jealousy among all law enforcement agencies. 2) Develop a better method of obtaining feedback on Unit information. 3) Improve method of obtaining statistical information. 4) Work more closely with the District Attorney's Office. 5) Disseminate the type of information which is needed most by the Nueces County Sheriff's Office and the various sections of the Corpus Christi Police Division through better communication with them. 6) Increase knowledge of assigned area of organized crime (Investigators). 7) Improve the filing system so that information can be quickly retrieved. (Have information filed categorically as well as alphabetically.) Attempt to have files computerized by next year. 8) Write clearer, more concise intelligence reports with the area or areas of organized crime the report pertains to listed under subject. 9) Achieve better coordination of Unit efforts. B. Methods 1. Implementation Stage The Nueces County Organized Crime Control Unit is producing usable intelli- gence from information gained from informants, other Police Officers and Deputies, other agencies and investigations and surveillances by Unit Officers. Files of suspected or known organized crime subjects are kept current and information is released to CCPD Officers, Sheriff's Deputies, District Attorney's Office and all other agencies on a need to know basis. Many out -of -State and out -of- County inquiries are processed monthly and information is disseminated to DPS Intelligence Service on a regular basis as prescribed by the Texas Criminal Justice Council. Members of the Unit on occasion do their own enforcement but usually a finished intelli- gence product-is turned over to an enforcement Unit for action, i.e., the Special Squad or the Narcotics Section of the Corpus Christi Police Depart- ment. C. Resources 1. Qualifications and Facilities of Grantee Nueces County Organized Crime Control Unit personnel are qualified to continue this project for the second year as a result of experience gained during the first year.
