October 26, 1989 — A new means to combat crime in Page County is under way. An organization known as Page County Crime Solvers will begin operation this week through a cooperative effort of the Page County Sheriff’s Department, the three town police departments, area businesses and industries and interested citizens.
Awards of up to $1,000 are offered to anonymous callers who provide information leading to the arrest and indictment of suspects or the apprehension of fugitives. The suspect’s conviction is not necessary for the informant to receive an award. Awards are based on the type of crime and the information provided and are determined by a board of directors, which also remains anonymous.
