Look Up - Anonymous Crime Hotline Seen Citywide - WeTop Hotline
Leading off the first day of a Crime Prevention Week to celebrate public/private partnerships between the Milwaukee Police Department and some of our city's corporate citizens, 35 billboards promoting the WeTip Hotline number will be popping up all over the City of Milwaukee beginning Monday, December 12, 2005. The number is 1-800-78-CRIME and the campaign askes citizens, "Want a safer neighborhood? It's your call."
The WeTip hotline is a toll free number, answered live 24 hours a day, seven days a week for people to report information they may have about a crime. More than 415,000 anonymous tips have led to the arrest of more than 15,000 criminals nationwide during the 33 years WeTip has been in existance. Once of the greatest barriers to solving crimes is fear - fear of citizens to report crime because they believe they will suffer retribution.
Through a generous donation by Clear Channel Outdoor and Clear Channel Radio, the billboards will be posted over a 4-month period throughout the City of Milwaukee. During the same time period, Clear Channel Radio will run a minimum of 300, 30-second Public Service Announcements over our six Clear Channel Radio Stations (WISN-AM, WKKV-FM, WMIL-FM, WOKY-AM, WQBW-FM, WRIT-FM).
