When to Call
«
Maybe you overhear someone bragging about having committed a crime.
«
Maybe you know someone who is driving a stolen car...or is hiding from the
police...or is a robber or drug dealer.
«
Or
maybe you just see something that doesn't look right. A strange car. A
person acting sneaky. Someone with a gun or knife.
If you aren't
sure that what you saw or heard is really a crime, call anyway. Let the
police decide if it's worth investigating. It may be a piece of a clue to a
big crime. |

Student Crime Stoppers
Cincinnati school and law enforcement officials are enlisting what could be a
potent new force in the fight against city crime –– students. Beginning January,
2004, a partnership involving Cincinnati Public Schools, the Cincinnati Police
Department, the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Crime Stoppers Program will
create Ohio’s first Student Crime Stoppers Program.

|
Chuck Kreimer, Vice President
of the Crime Stoppers Board; Superintendent Alton Frailey; Lt. Col. Richard
Biehl of the Cincinnati Police Department; Katherine Frazier, SCPA senior;
and Interim SCPA Principal Roger Lewis join together to announce the new
Student Crime Stopper program at a news conference on January 8, 2004.. |

 |
Students
who step forward with anonymous tips leading to arrests will be eligible for
cash awards through the program, based on an internally recognized model.
School
and police officials agree that most students want to do the right thing to keep
their schools and neighborhoods safe but sometimes fear reprisals. The Student
Crime Stoppers Program offers the safety of complete anonymity while promoting
responsibility and allowing students to take action against victimization and
crime.
Costs of
the program are underwritten through a federal Project Safe Neighborhoods Grant,
designed to reduce gun violence and other crimes through a proactive approach to
ensuring safe schools and communities.
