Huron Expositor, 2004-01-14, Page 1212-1141 HURON t XPOSITOR, JANUARY 14, 2004
This coming year will mark the 28th anniversary of
the world's first Crime Stoppers program
established in Albuquerque, New Mexico in
September 1976. On January 6 the more than 1
1,000 programs in communities around the world
will officially launch January as Crime Stoppers
Month. Coordinator Beasley also notes that Huron
County Crime Stoppers tip calls have increased by
18% over the last year. This is partly due to the
increased number of public presentations we did
in 2003. We did 60 presentations to students and
various service groups around the county and 1 -
believe that this increased awareness caused our
calls to go up." "We also attended 3 fairs and 7
parades around Huron which our 14 Board
Members enjoy participating in."
If any group or organization wishes to have a
presentation done or the Crime Stoppers van
and portable Jail attend an event, contact Steve
at 524-8314.

Crime Stoppers is NOT a "rat" program.
Crime Stoppers encourages the public to anonymously report information on crime. The program's main goal is to reduce
incidents of crime in the community. Although Crime Stoppers is in the business of solving crimes, there is a Tong -range goal
of crime prevention. A community with an effective and successful Crime Stoppers program acts as a deterrent for would-be
criminals. Crime Stoppers is a "crime prevention" program that has the power to help solve any crime - not a "rat" program.
Crime Stoppers exists for the betterment of the community they serve.
Crime Stoppers is NOT a police program.
Crime Stoppers is a non-profit charitable organization owned and operated by the community which combines the best
efforts of the community, the media and the police in the ongoing battle against crime. Crime Stoppers works in conjunction
with local investigative agencies, including local police departments, to help bring justice to unsolved incidents of crime. In
addition a police officer is assigned to Crime Stoppers to help the civilian board of directors carry out the program. Although,
when callers contact Crime Stoppers they are talking to a community program - not a police program!
Crime Stoppers is NOT a way to seek revenge.
A Crime Stoppers tip is not evidence and investigators must independently verity every tip before a tip can be acted on.
The contents of a tip must be confirmed through an independent investigation. A Crime Stoppers tip is just the starting point
of an investigation. People cannot be wrongly accused (by way of arrest or charge) because of a vengeful tip.
If YOU have any information on criminal activity contact CRIME STOPPERS Of Huron County at 1 -800 -222 -TIPS (8477), All
calls are confidential - callers never have to reveal their identity, deal directly with police or testify in court. Cash rewards are
available for information that leads to an arrest or charge.
