GUESTS
Lt. Tracy of the Hutchinson Police Department was the guest of Lori Hopp.
Lt. Tracy presented the program this morning on Crime Stoppers of Reno County.
TUIT REPORT
Brenda Janda paid her $ to get rid of the TUIT, then reported that Dan Powers
asked, but Lori Hopp and Doc Powers did not ask at lunch. Manuel Bruchs wife did
not ask and she saw Brenda every day so he paid a $. David Ross or someone who sort of
resembled him didnt ask at Allies so he paid. Cal Singh never asked all week at work so he paid.
With that, Brenda awarded the TUIT to our newest member, Manuel Bruch so that he can get
acquainted with it first hand.
PROGRAM:
Lt. Tracy of the Hutchinson Police Department gave a very interesting and informative talk about Crime Stoppers of Reno County. Since its beginning in Reno County 12 years ago, CrimeStoppers has helped solve 819 crimes in Reno County including 1 homicide, 8 rapes, 16 robberies, and 271 burglaries. Of 448 defendants charged, 2 have been acquitted, 420 convicted and the other 26 are awaiting trial.
CrimeStoppers will pay a reward for every crime solved, although many people never claim their reward. People reporting information are always anonymous only assigned a code number which they use to collect their rewards.
