Crimestoppers

Sat in on the Arbor District meeting with Chief O'Guinn and City Manager Alan Gill and and have stuff to post about it but time is short at the moment. I did run in to a friend who works closely with Carbondale Crimstoppers today and found out how effective the program is. It appears Crimstoppers make regular cash payouts to tispsters and the cash flows out freely. Two tips in the past year garnered payouts of $800 and $500, while smaller rewards are paid out frequently, leaving the organization in need of funds. Their website is woefully out of date regarding fundaising, as there will be a "penny raffle" fund raiser at several locations throughout C'dale over the next month including the Pig Out.
