Gage County Crime Stoppers Looks to Increase Awareness in Wymore Area

Sergeant Tim Hansen of the Gage County Sheriff’s Office spoke at the Wymore City Council meeting Wednesday night, January 21, to discuss Crime Stoppers.Crime Stoppers is a national organization with local chapters throughout the country. There is a state Crime Stoppers as well as a Gage County Crime Stoppers.Sergeant Hansen would like to see more involvement with Crime Stoppers from the Wymore area, “We’d like to get any Wymore people that would be interested in Crime Stoppers.” “It’s a good program. People just have to use it,” said Hansen. “A lot of times I think people don’t know about it and that’s a big problem.” After the meeting, Hansen told FJN, “Crime Stoppers allows a person to report, anonymously, information related to crimes and criminal activity. This is huge benefit to law enforcement as it is sometimes the only tip or information about the crime and gives us a place to start. Local law enforcement meet with community members who serve on the board, and provide updates on the status of the organization, share important information and develop plans to keep the organization running and funded.” The Gage County Crime Stoppers members of the Board of Directors are appointed and serve to support law enforcement agencies, publicize ways the communities and individuals can report crimes, assist officers as they provide community education and programs, be involved in community activities and organizations, and significantly, to organize and sponsor activities to raise funds that are used as rewards to individuals that anonymously provide information and report crimes by calling 402-228-4343.
