The Gulf Coast Crime Stoppers program has been honored for work leading to hundreds of arrests and closing over 1,000 cases last year.
Gulf Coast Crime Stoppers Inc. received the Crime Stoppers 2009 Productivity Award at a recent conference in Myrtle Beach, S.C., the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.
In 2009, Gulf Coast Crime Stoppers was assisted in closing 1,135 cases, led to 312 arrests and gave out 286 rewards to those that provided tips.
“I am so proud of this program,” Deputy Jeff Van Camp, coordinator of the Gulf Coast program said, “It’s the hard work and cooperation of all the men and women of the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office that make productivity like this possible.”
The award is given to the Crime Stoppers program in the Southeast that clears the most cases for the given year. The award is specifically for organizations serving areas with a population between 200,000 and 299,000, according to the sheriff’s office.
