The Crime Coalition was formed and organized in June of 2006. It was a spin off the Eastside Crime Prevention Coalition. We have now expanded to cover all of San Antonio & Bexar County. You may register for free to participate. We currently do not solicit government funding, and we maintain zero assets.

The Crime Coalition is not now a 501c (3) Federal Tax Exemption organization due to an internal complaint by a disgruntle suspended official. (Revoked as of June 13, 2011- Appeal in process) However, we still remain a State Chartered Non-profit Public Interest Corporation.

The coalition is a collaboration of businesses, homeowners, churches, schools, neighborhood associations, community groups, and law enforcement agencies. The Coalition provides valuable information/intelligence as a tool in dealing with criminal activity in the public interest within our communities.

Because of the concern of the fear of retaliation among the populace, the Coalition acts as a go-between in receiving and passing on "tips & information" to police authorities for appropriate action. The "save a Life, Give'em Up" campaign that was initiated in 2007, has been very successful and has aided in apprehending many offenders.

As a result of expansion, we now cover 380 schools, 298 Neighborhood Associations, thousands of households & Businesses and hundreds of Churches and Community Groups within a 504 square mile geographic area.

Alert for Northwest & Northeast Areas: For those who live in gated Apartment Complexes, be aware of those strange vehicles that may follow you in through the open gate. Get a license plate number and description of the vehicle, then call the Apartment Manager. Apartment Burglaries occur after a person leaves for work. Leaving a radio on within the apartment may deter a break-in.

Burglary of Homes & Businesses continue to rise: Home break-ins occur more frequently during the hours of 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM, thieves are taking TVs, Labtops; Jewelry; DVDs; IPODs; Cash and Weapons. When leaving for work, again. leave a radio or TV going if you do not have a security system in place!

Business break-ins and robberies are occurring late at night, make sure you know & trust employees! Employees or ex-employees and their friends in many cases are the most likely to have inside information on the operation of your business.

Vehicle Burglaries still remain at the top of the list for crimes that are occurring in San Antonio. While burglary of vehicles are occurring at all hours, most of the vehicle burglaries occur during the hours of 10:00 PM and early morning.
