Crime Stoppers said it looks forward to engaging with the community during Black History Month and encouraged organizations hosting events to contact the group by private message, according to a Facebook post.
Crime Stoppers is a community-based program that works with law enforcement and the public to gather anonymous tips about crime. Local chapters and affiliated organizations typically use outreach and public awareness campaigns to build relationships with residents and encourage reporting of information that can aid investigations.
Observance of Black History Month in February provides one opportunity for community groups and public safety organizations to connect around shared priorities, including public safety, trust and civic participation. Such engagement can help reach audiences who might not otherwise interact with law enforcement or crime prevention programs.
Organizations interested in collaborating with Crime Stoppers were asked to contact the group via private message in the Facebook post. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
