Texas Crime Stopper program growing
Citizens helping combat crime through in formation
The Texas Crime Stoppers Advisory Council has
made outstanding progress in the first six months of
operation.
In January, 1982, 43 local Crime Stoppers
programs were operating in Texas. The Council
placed as top priority the goal of'doubling this
original number of programs to 86 by the end of the
year. Presently, there are 7p local Crime Stoppers
programsJn various stages of development. This is
an increase of 63%.
of all local Crime Stoppers Coordinators at the
Institute of Criminal Justice Studies in San Marcos,
Texas. Representatives from 35 local Crime Stoppers
programs across Texas were in attendance including
several from out-of-state. The coordinators that
Marcos on June 22, 1982. This meeting enabled
students at the 20-hour Crime Stoppers School to
gain insight into the State program. Also in
attendance were local coordinators, law enforcement
officers, judges, district attorneys, media represen-
tatives and interested citizens.

program is fhe receiving and transmitting " 6f ’conjunction with this coordinators workshop in Siiri * dfter must be for a specified amount before the
information via a state-wide toll-free hotline. This
hotline, manned from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. by
Council staff, was previously^ picked up by- an
answering device after hours and on weekends. With
the assistance of Chief Don Cannon of the University
of Texas at Austin Police Department, an extension
of the "hotline” was installed at the U. T. Command
Post and effective May 25, 1982, the hotline became
operational on a 24-hour basis. Information is
currently taken around the clock by trained police
officers.
Media participation has played a heavy role in the
state-wide Crime Stoppers program. As a result of
mailouts and telephone calls by Council staff , there
has been an increase of 2 television stations, 70 radio
stations, 16 daily newspapers and 117 weekly
newspapers.
As of June 30, 1982, media participation is as
follows:
59 out of 69 television stations
248 out of 419 radio stations
74 out of 114 daily newspapers
199 out of 498 weekly newspapers
For a total of 580 out of 1,100 media participating
and an increase of 55%.
Publications across the state were recently
contacted by Council staff and asked to participate in
the Crime Stoppers media campaign. These
contacts, made by staff , have resulted in 18 monthly
publications printing the "Crime of the Month” on a
regular basis.
The media program, though playing a vital role in
the advertising of the toll-free hotline number, has
proved to be an exceptionally cost-effective
endeavor. Miller-Pickle and Associates of Austin,
estimates that for the first six months of 1982, the
total audience exposure tor radio and television was
62,874,000. The estimated cost per 1,000
viewer-listener exposure was $.80, and the cost per
minute tor the first six months was $.27.
The Council took the Crime Stoppers program on
the road during April and May in an attempt to
increase local interest in Crime Stoppers across the
state. The Council traveled to Arlington and San
Antonio on April 27th and May 25th respectively. In
each location, time was set aside for an informative
miniworkshop detailing the various areas of a Crime
Stoppers program.
On June 23.1982, the Council organized a meeting
f^©’ 81
information is furnished, and paid upon a definite
occurence, i.e. the obtaining of an indictment.
Therefore, aff developed a reward schedule
specifying u finite amounts to be paid for the
information, based upon the severity of the crime,
the value of narcotics confiscated and the value of the
property recovered.
In order to keep advised of the work done on each
case, the Council staff developed a Disposition Sheet
which is included with each case that is sent to the
appropriate law enforcement agehey. This allows the
receiving-agency to promptly return-information on
arrests, recoveries of stolen property and seizures of
narcotics with minimum effort.
The Criminal Justice Division of the Governor’s
Office is very supportive of the work done by the
Advisory Council and staff. This is proving to be
beneficial to the Crime Stoppers program as well.
Any member of the CJD staff that is traveling on
state business, fills out a questionnaire in reference
to the area of the state where they are visiting. This
form covers not only data on the local law
enforcement agency, but gives Council staff a good
view of the civic clubs and leaders that might be
contacted for their help in organizing a local Crime
Stoppers program if there is not one in existence.
In preparation for the monthly Crime Stoppers
Advisory Council meetings and for the members
information, the staff prepares a Crime Stoppers
Fact Sheet for distribution to all Council members.
The Fact Sheet contains updated information on
media participation, future Crimes of the Month,
arrests, and other pertinent data which is easily
retrievable.
To summarize, since the Texas Crime Stoppers
Advisory Council became operational on January 1,
1982, steady progress has been made. Credibility is
being established throughout the State with various
law enforcement agencies. Public awareness of the
program is at an all time high due to the cooperation
of the media in advertising the toll-free number.
With the increase of public awareness, more
locations are requesting information and technical
assistance from Council staff in an effort to develop
their own local Crime Stoppers programs. To this
end. Texas Crime Stoppers is well on its way to
becoming a viable, active force in the reduction of
crime in Texas.
