The Corpus Christi Downtown Management District (DMD) strives to maintain the highest level of cleanliness and safety to create a welcoming environment for visitors and a vibrant location for businesses to thrive. In coordination with the Corpus Christi Police Department, we’re also vigilant in providing a safe District resulting in low incidences of crime and positive perceptions of safety. DMD has created a number of partnerships with City of Corpus Christi, private sector businesses and corporate anchors to create this safe environment.

DMD utilizes a eight-member, customer friendly Clean Team that works seven days a week picking up litter, removing graffiti, sweeping streets and sidewalks, and painting street fixtures. Additionally, each Clean Team member helps visitors with questions and directions.

DMD utilizes of pool of 18 bike patrol police officers who are certified tourism ambassadors and are paid to patrol the Greater Downtown area in their off-time. They act as a visible, customer-friendly police presence that can provide assistance to visitors, make arrests and address public safety issues.
