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.

Since we are now a 501c Tax exempt public interest non-profit organization (corporation). any gifts, contributions or grants that are received are tax deductible. Because of the generosity of our participants the coalition has been able to maintain this website and met our administrative expenses.

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. To become a participant please register on this website.
