Grant County Crime Stoppers President Sandra Suhr looks through the pages of her scrapbook to find a Daily Press clipping from 2002, detailing three arrests that were made thanks to the first anonymous tips collected shortly after she relaunched the local tips-for-cash organization.
It takes a person with a certain background to head up a local Crime Stoppers organization, said Sandra Suhr, who for more than 19 years ran the anonymous tip line and reward program in Grant County.
“It’s pretty important to follow strict rules, and the number one objective is to protect the caller,” Suhr said. “If you can’t protect the caller, you lose your credibility. We assigned callers a code and kept no names. I’d love to tell you how we disburse the rewards … but that’s one of those things. I can’t it’s risky.”
