A Mayoral proclamation was presented to Ponca City Area Crime Stoppers board members in recognition of Crime Stoppers of Ponca City Month.
Mayor Homer Nicholson shared appreciation for the board members.
The successful program began in Ponca City in 1984 and is funded solely by donations. Cash rewards totaling $61,603 have been paid to anonymous tipsters that provided information leading to 52 arrests, 726 cases cleared and the recovery of $481,354 in stolen property.
Ponca City’s Crime Stopper’s program was the first in the state to implement Campus Crime Stoppers in the high school, middle school and junior high.
Ponca City Crime Stoppers benefits the citizens and the businesses in and around Ponca City by partnering with them and with surrounding law enforcement agencies.
