CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Corpus Christi Police Department is asking the public to "Choose Your Ride."
Thursday morning, Interim Chief of Police David Blackmon and Mayor Paulette Guajardo unveiled a half police vehicle, half taxicab as part of the campaign to discourage people from drinking and driving.
The vehicle will be used as a static display to remind our community of the consequences of driving while intoxicated.
CCPD officials said that there are alternatives to drinking and driving, and encourage the use of a designated driver, taxicab, or rideshare so that you may arrive home safely.
