Texas News
The Texas Crime Stoppers Council wishes to congratulate all the Texas Crime Stoppers programs that have passed the milestone of 25 years of service to their local community and Texas at large.
The Crime Stoppers program in Texas owes its success to all the citizens who contributed thousands of volunteer hours of hard work, and the unflinching dedication of local law enforcement.
As Texas Crime Stoppers, you should be proud of your results. You and your programs are responsible for over One Billion Dollars in property recovered and narcotics seized since the first Texas Crime Stoppers program began operating in El Paso in 1978. This is no mean feat. The Office of the Governor wants to recognize your service to the state at the Annual Conference in Abilene, October 11-13, 2010. We are hoping that representatives of your program will attend the Annual Conference. There is a discount for early registration.
Please be assured that each and every one of you is very much appreciated for your service to your community and to Texas.
Sincerely,
Dr. Betty Bosarge
Executive Director, Texas Crime Stoppers Council
Office of the Governor
