Columbus State Community College President Val Moeller announced today that the college has signed an agreement with Crime Stoppers of Central Ohio to form a Crime Stoppers chapter on campus. The money will be used to reward people who report tips that result in the conviction of people who have committed crimes on campus. Moeller said most crimes reported on the campus involve petty theft. Under the program, Columbus State will form a Crime Stoppers board comprised of students, faculty and staff.
Tipsters report the crime suspect confidentially and remain anonymous.
Columbus State recognizes that you don't wait until you have a crime problem to do something about it. You have to get out in front of the problem before it happens.
