Narcotics Vice Investigators need your help to combat illegal drug trafficking.  If you are aware of or suspect drug trafficking in your neighborhood or the location of a wanted drug fugitive, you can report this anonymously to StopDrugsCorpusChristI.org.  Including as much information as possible will assist NVID Detectives to successfully investigate your complaint.  You can then follow the progress of your tip on the Stop Drugs Corpus Christi web page.
