Crime Stoppers makes donation to Grapeland Police Department
GRAPELAND - Houston County Crime Stoppers Chairman Roger H. Erwin, at the June 8, 2010 Grapeland City Council meeting, presented four new digital cameras to the Chief of Police, Dewayne Newman for use by the department in crime-scene and accident recording.
Also accepting the new equipment was the newly installed Mayor George Pearson.
Due to budget constraints, the City of Grapeland was unable to provide these much needed cameras to aid the officers of the Grapeland Police Department in evidence gathering and court presentations.
As a community service organization, the Houston County Crime Stoppers assists the courts and law enforcement agencies in the apprehension of those who violate the laws of our community and State by accepting anonymous information on the possible location of fugitives and even crimes in progress. By utilizing fines imposed on convicted law violators by the court system, Crime Stoppers provides reward monies for information resulting in arrest and conviction of criminals.
Additionally, the Board of Directors of the Crime Stoppers has elected to expend discretionary funds to aid emergency services with equipment whenever possible.
