Crime Stoppers of Fayette County has upgraded its website to better serve the community thanks to a grant.
For years, the organization that pays up to $1,000 for tips leading to an arrest of unsolved crimes in the area had a free, basic website that limited the amount of information the nonprofit was able to share with the citizens. They also maintained an active Facebook page seeking tips about community crimes.
âOur biggest strength was our Facebook page,â said Fayette County Sheriff James Custer, a board member with the organization.
Whatever information law enforcement sent had to be posted on social media because they were unable to share it on the website.
