th, Crime Stoppers received 166 tips in response to crimes in the area. That’s a 26% increase from the first quarter of this year.
Crime Stoppers Coordinator, Loren Hamilton says they are attributing the increase in part to the new Crime Stoppers phone app that was rolled out in October of last year.
The app was made possible by a grant obtained from Apex Clean Energy and is a stand-alone app for Morgan, Scott, and Cass County Crime Stoppers.
