Police offer reward for illegal-gun tips
|
Howard County police hope that a $250 reward will entice residents to pick up the phone to report illegal guns.
The program, called Project Cease Fire, went into effect late last month and is similar to hundreds of initiatives across the nation. Some have been successful in helping authorities track down illegal guns while other police departments say their tip lines have led to only a handful of arrests each year.
Howard police hope to avoid such a low total by publicizing their program heavily, which many say is vital in such efforts. What about LEGAL guns? What's the reward for those? Do they CARE about the harassment they will inflict on law-abiding gun owners? And don't even get me started on anonymous-tip reward systems. |
