that each evaluation will take five days to accomplish and that the fee for
the services of the evaluation specialist will be approximately, but not more
than, $135:00 per day. 5 days X 2 evaluations = 10 days; 10 days X $135.00 =
$1,350.00.
C. Travel
1. Two members of the Unit will attend the five -day National LEIUA Conference
to be held in Miami, Florida. They will be reimbursed for tourist class
air transportation of $198.00 per person plus actual costs not to exceed
$35.00 per person per diem. $198.00 X 2 persons = $396.00; $35.00 X 2
persons X 5 days = $350.00; for a total of $746.00.
2. Two members of the Unit will attend the three -day Texas LEIUA meeting to
be held in San Antonio, Texas. They will travel by private automobile and
will be reimbursed at the rate of 15t per mile plus actual costs of lodg-
ing and meals, estimated to be approximately $34.00 per person per diem.
The distance from Corpus Christi to San Antonio and return = 300 miles.
300 X 15¢ = $45.00; $34.00 X 2 persons X 3 days = $204.00; for a total of
$249.00.
3. Three members of the Unit will attend the four -day Texas Narcotics Asso-
ciation Conference in Longview, Texas. They will be reimbursed for tour-
ist class air transportation of $132.00 per person plus actual costs of
lodging, meals, taxi, and tips, estimated to be approximately $35.00 per
person per diem. $132.00 X 3 persons = $396.00; $35.00 X 3 persons X 4
days = $420.00; for a total of $816.00.
4. It is estimated that members of the Unit, using private automobiles, will
make 12 out -of- county trips during the project period at an average of
400 miles per trip to conduct organized crime investigations and /or to
attend TLEIUA Quarterly business meetings. They will be reimbursed 15¢
per mile plus actual costs for lodging and meals, estimated to be $30.00
per person per diem. 400 miles X 12 trips X 150 per mile = $720.00;
$30.00 X 24 days (12 trips of 2 days each) = $720.00; for a total of
$1,440.00.

City Manager
I. Purpose
x Travel by City employees at City expense is for the purpose of training,
exchange of new ideas, accomplishment of a specific purpose, or solutipn_
of a definite problem. Each employee is expected to bring credit to the
City and to carry out the purpose of his trip in an effective and econom-
ical manner. The City reimburses its employees for all reasonable
expenses which are incurred while traveling on City *business. There is
no•attempt on the part of the City to compensate the traveler for incon-
venience or to provide unnecessary conveniences while traveling at City
expense.
II. Scope
This Standard Instruction is applicable to all City travel outside of
the City limits involving reimbursable expenses which are to be charged
to Code 352, Travel; Code 353, Operational Travel; travel under appropri-
ation in various federal, state, or bond' fund, projects; or any other
financial source.
III. Procedures
A. Under Code 352, Travel4 prior budgetary approval is ruired. If an
advance is requested, the original and 2 copies of Standard Form 33
must be submitted to the Accounting Division which will check the
request against a master list of approved travel furnished it by the
Budget Office. If the request appears on the master list of approved
travel, the Accounting Division will return the original copy along
with the advance check to the individual who is traveling. Upon com-
pletion of the trip, the original Standard Form 33 will be completed
and returned to the Accounting Division with the necessary expense
information and receipts attached thereto. If the request is not.on
the master list of approved travel, the Accounting Division will
return the request to the department concerned for proper processing.

• 12 -2 -2 (continuation page
B. If approval was not obtained in the printed budget,' the original
and 2 copies of Standard Form 33 must be submitted to the City
Manager's Office through the Budget Office. The request must show
what trip is being canceled to provide funds for the additional
trip. If the request is in addition to that which is approved in
the budget rather than a substitution, sufficient justification
must be given so that a determination can be made as to the advis-
ability of a special appropriation transfer for the requested
purpose.
C. If no advance was obtained, the original copy of Standard Form 33
should be completed with the necessary receipts attached thereto
and sent to the Accounting Division which will check the request
against the master list of approved travel. If the travel is an
addition or substitution, then the request must be submitted to the
City Manager's Office through the Budget Office for approval. The
Standard Form 33 and attached receipts will then be sent to the
Accounting Division for reimbursement.
D. _Operational travel will not require prior approval as long as each
individual trip is approved by the department head, the division
head, or the supervisor having primary responsibility for the parti-
cular activity. If advances are requested, the same procedures
will be carried out as under Code 352, Travel. Upon return of the
traveler, the original of Standard Form 33 must be sent to the
Accounting Division with the necessary expense receipts to support
the requested reimbursement.
IV. Reimbursable Expenditures
A. To provide proper management and accounting control, definite standari
must be established to determine the amount of each item and the basic
items that are eligible for reimbursement. ,The representative of the
City is responsible for justifying his expenses adequately and fully
to the satisfaction of the Chief Accountant within the following limit
1. Transportation - Tourist Class air travel will be utilized by
division heads, department heads and other staff and employees fox
all long trips. First Class transportation may be utilized only
with prior approval of the City Manager, unless Tourist Class seat
are not available. Reimbursement for private cars for short trips
will be made on a basis of a rate not to exceed .15 er mile,
depending upon the policy of the division concerned. When City
cars are used for short trips, the City credit card may be ob-
tained from the Purchasing Agent. The wives of City officials

A. Goals
1. Nature of problems and needs to be met
Prior to the establishment of the Nueces County Organized Crime Control Unit;
unlawful activity tied.to organized crime had already begun to proliferate in
the area. The proximity of Corpus Christi to the border gave organized crime
a convenient location from which to transport stolen vehicles to Mexico and
through which to transport narcotics. The development of the-seashore area
and the natural growth of the population afforded organized crime figures ex-
cellent opportunities to "launder" illegal funds by providing means through
which they could invest organized crime money in legitimate business. -
As the City of Corpus Christi grew to accommodate this development, the area
began to appear as a windfall to the perpetrators of organized crime. The
many ways in which organized crime could infiltrate the bloodstream of the
comnunity made it difficult for regular law enforcement units to deal effec-
tively with the accompanying problems. It was necessary, therefore, that
these problems be dealt with by a specially trained, multi- agency unit, one
which could accomplish complicated and sophisticated surveillances, thorough
investigations, data analyses, and prosecutions which utilized the data. Thus,
in November, 1972, the Nueces County *Organized Crime Control Unit was established
to investigate and apprehend persons involved in organized crime and to inhibit
organized crib activity. Since then, arrests and seizures made as a result of
work by the Unit have been documented in reports to the Texas Criminal Justice
Council.
A study of the period March 1, 1975, through August 31, 1975, reveals that in-
vestigations and assists by the Unit resulted in sixty -five arrests for felony
offenses and eight arrests for misdemeanors. Thirty -five of the felony arrests
were narcotics - related with the remainder tied to theft, forgery, kidnapping,
burglary, obstruction'of the mails, aggravated assault, weapons violations,
extortion, and robbery. The misdemeanor arrests included those for drug abuse,
prostitution, theft, and fraud. All of the persons involved in. these arrests
were tied to organized crime activity. Without an Organized Crime Control Unit,
these criminals might still be free to operate undetected.
During this same period the Unit seized 28 %Z ounces, 8 grams of heroin (valued
at over $1,500,000.00); 2 tons, 22% pounds of marijuana; 40 grams of hashish;
2z grams of cocaine; 25,626 pills; $106,750.00 in cash; four automobiles; and
two pistols. The Unit also recovered property valued at $69,285.00. One
• Q •
hundred sixty -five inquiries were processed by the Unit, and information re-
garding the inquiries was disseminated to the appropriate law enforcement
agencies. The Unit added to its files 1,201 data cards on subjects known to
be or suspected of being engaged in organized crime in the area. Forty -six
data cards were contributed to the Department of Public Safety Organized Crime
Intelligence Division. A continuation of the work of the Unit will ensure
that such information will continue to be dispersed.
As predicted in the previous grant application, the climate surrounding the
failing economy was conducive to the emergence of an abundance of fraudulent
business practices. It is expected that still others will attempt to gain a
foothold in the area, and, for this reason, it will be necessary to continue
efforts of apprehending or inhibiting the practices of persons who exploit
the area's citizens through fraudulent activity.
Narcotics trafficking remains the major organized crime problem in the area.
In the 1974 Report of Organized Crime in Texas, published by the Texas Organ-
ized Crime Prevention Council, it was noted that there were at least 25 major
drug dealers, 100 drug peddlers, and over 1,000 addicts in the Corpus Christi
area. Since those figures were published, additional dealers and peddlers
have been identified. It is the aim of the Unit that many of these will be
arrested in the coming year. Gambling in the area, which involves hundreds
of thousands of dollars taken from the community and placed in the coffers
of organized crime, is another important target of the Unit.
Availability of Criminal Justice Division funds is essential to continue the
work of the Unit during the coming year. Because organized crime activity
remains a constant threat to the area, this project is vital to the future of
Nueces County.
2. Groups affected or benefited by the project
As a direct result of participation by the three agencies of the Nueces County
Organized Crime Control Unit, there has been a growing interaction between the
-Corpus Christi Police Department, the Nueces County Sheriff's Office, and the
District Attorney's Office. This interaction has increased the effectiveness
of Unit operations while at the same time increasing the usefulness of each
participating agency. Other law enforcement agencies which receive informa-
tion or assistance from the Unit will also be benefited.
3. Goals and objectives
a. Goals
The primary goal of the Nueces County Organized Crime Control Unit is to
reduce the incidence of organized crime offenses in Nueces County through
investigation and apprehension of persons involved in organized crime ac-
tivity or through inhibition of such activity. The Unit will also parti-
cipate in the law enforcement intelligence network and will disseminate
data to all law enforcement agencies which exhibit a need to know for law
enforcement purposes.
4C •
b. Quantified objectives
In 1974 the Criminal Justice Plan for Texas set forth the proposition
that an increase in organized crime arrests might be used as an indi-
cator of a corresponding decrease in the incidence of organized crime
offenses. To that end the objectives in the previous Nueces County
Organized Crime Control Unit grant application relating to arrests were
stated in terms of projected percentage increases. The record at the
end of the second year project period showed an overall increase in ar-
rests of 33.3% over first year project period arrests. This increase
represented five times the anticipated results for organized crime ar-
rests projected in the annual crime- specific goals in the Criminal
Justice Plan.
As the third year project period was unfolding and the Unit's work came
to have an increasing impact on the organized crime structure, a new
pattern relating to arrests began to emerge. While there was usually
a direct relationship between the quality of work by the Unit and the
quality of arrests and /or seizures, there was also very often an in-
verse relationship between the quality of Unit investigations and the
quantity of arrests, once the Unit had reached a plateau and was work-
ing at its optimum level. It was becoming evident that 1) the more
important the arrests and seizures in regard to the impact on the or-
ganized crime structure, 2) the greater the infiltration of the Unit
into the highest echelons of the organized crime hierarchy, 3) the
greater the inhibitory influence of the Unit on organized crime activ-
ity, and 4) the more useful to other agencies the Unit's information
gathering capability, the less this kind of work could be evaluated
accurately in terms of an increasing percentage of arrests.
As this knowledge manifested itself, it became incumbent upon the Unit
to question the practice of using percentage increases in arrests as
criteria for measuring a corresponding decrease in the number of of-
fenses occurring. A change in evaluative technique was called for and
was reinforced by the suggestion of the Unit's outside evaluator that,
in view of the quality and nature of the Unit's work, objectives re-
lating to an increase in percentage of arrests were unrealistic and
meaningless.* Encouragement for change also came from the Criminal Jus-
tice Division Guideline Manual M610, dated August 1, 1974, which cited
as desirable the development of new approaches to problems and presen-
tation of prototypal models for other units.
Thus, having reviewed the questionable validity of past evaluative cri-
teria as well as the future goals of the Unit, the Unit in this grant
application wishes to propose a quantified objective relating to arrests
which is stated in terms of an anticipated number of quality arrests
rather than in terms of a projected percentage increase. A commitment
to document both the quantity and the quality of arrests will be part
of the evaluation design. The objective relating to arrests will then
be both explicitly quantitative and implicitly qualitative. It is the
hope of this Unit that this new approach to organized crime control
measurement will establish a model for other units which are operating

at their optimum capability level in terms of numbers of arrests.
1) To effect at least 120 organized crime arrests* and to document
type of arrests, number of cases filed, number of indictments
returned, number of convictions obtained, number of cases dis-
missed, number of cases pending, amount of seizures made, and
amount of property recovered
2) To increase data cards on organized crime subjects by at least
500
3) To contribute at least 100 data cards to the Department of Public
Safety Organized Crime Intelligence Division
4) To process 100% of the inquiries received from law enforcement
personnel for law enforcement purposes
c. Non - quantified objectives
1) To analyze the impact of arrests and convictions on the organized
crime structure
2) To maintain cooperation among participating law enforcement agen-
cies of Nueces County and with other law enforcement personnel
3) To develop new sources of information through contacts made at
LEIUA conferences
4) To obtain up -to -date information on organized crime control
through attendance at conferences and meetings
5) To review and revise information in Unit files on a continuing
basis
6) To discuss at staff meetings information regarding court cases
which affect law enforcement procedures and practices in organized
crime detection and apprehension
B. Methods
Information gathered by Unit members from other law enforcement officers, from
informants, from surveillances, and from other investigations will be collected,
reported, analyzed, and collated. The finished intelligence product will be
turned over to the appropriate enforcement unit or agency for action. This in-
formation will also be placed in the Unit's files, kept current, and released to
law enforcement personnel on a need -to -know basis. Inquiries will be processed
*Organized crime arrests in this grant application mean arrests for any offenses in
which members of organized criminal groups are involved. Although these offenses
will often be those cited in the 1975 Criminal Justice Plan for Texas, pp. 17 -18,
such as gambling, illegal drug traffic, prostitution, pornography, loansharking,
automobile theft, and white collar crime, they may also include any other offenses
which are perpetrated by persons known to have ties with organized criminal groups.
as they are received. Significant information will be sent to the Department
of Public Safety Organized Crime Intelligence Division. Under the direction
of the Project Director, the Coordinator of the Unit will supervise the time-
table for achieving the objectives. The investigators will gather and report
intelligence information. The Analyst will analyze and collate intelligence
information and the Secretary will type and file the information, take and
transcribe dictation, and prepare data cards on organized criminals.

2. Significance
This project offers an experiment which seeks to test whether a coordinated
effort by specially - trained members of three law enforcement agencies work-
ing together as a Unit can have an impact on the problem of organized crime.
It also seeks to test whether a program inaugurated with adequate financial
assistance from state and federal sources can perpetuate and justify itself
after the funding period. Hopefully, the success of the Unit in reducing
the incidence of organized crime activity will persuade local government to
