News brief: Kid crime stoppers starts in Chehalis schools

CHEHALIS – Lewis County Crime Stoppers has launched a student crime stoppers program in Chehalis schools.

In an announcement last week, the 18-year-old local program which accepts anonymous tips and pays reward money for help in solving crime said it has partnered with the district to reach out to staff, parents and youngsters at W.F. West High School, Chehalis Middle School and Olympic Elementary School.

It grew out an offering at a meeting last fall with local school superintendents, according to a news release.

“With all the school tragedies happening around the country, this could be one more tool to help in the prevention of an incident occurring locally,” Crime Stoppers states.

The hope is to combat inappropriate behavior, criminal activities on campus and to get tips about some things even before they occur, according to the nonprofit organization, and since the tips can be made anonymously, young people can avoid being tagged as snitches.

It uses the same phone number as the existing Crime Stoppers program: 1-800-748-6422.

The new program will be the focus of the upcoming Crime Stoppers dinner and auction fundraiser to be held on April 20 at the Southwest Washington  Fairgrounds.

    Wow .. All I can think is job security for law enforcement right there!The two peas in a pod David Low and his Bi-Polar alter ego OldLongJohnson. I guess that if you aren’t doing something illegal, you shouldn’t have to worry about anything.

    Wow, OLJ, you are bitter. I will pray for you.

    Crime Stoppers encourages kids to snitch on their parents. If your parents are providing a roof over your head and putting food in your belly, then you just need to keep your little mouth shut even though mommy and daddy are growing pot.

    Let’s call it for what it is. Crime Stoppers and DARE do nothing except encourage kids to put their parents in jail, just so they authorities can come in and confiscate any and all property.

    Then, the kids are sent to some other family full of fat people who get paid by the state to starve the children and make them do housework and other slave-labor.

    Cops have no business being in schools. Unless of course you’re trying to educate.

    Just say no to arbitrary authoritarianism.

    I have a crime to report, the American Military is gaurding poppy fields overseas and importing the Herion into the United States. Here’s that proof. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Og8CiQWB3LY Seems like the war on drugs and crime is Fabricated by the US Government.
