ATF,
Omaha Police Department Ad Campaign Encourages Citizens to Report
Firearm-Related Crimes
Omaha, Neb. – The Omaha Police
Department (OPD) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
(ATF) recently launched an ad campaign in Omaha to encourage the public to
report gun crimes.
Billboards in Omaha and Metro Bus signs
carry the messages, “Report Gun Crimes” and “1 Firearm + 1 Arrest = $500”, with
the Crime Stoppers hotline number 402-444-STOP and website
www.omahacrimestoppers.net. The billboards are located near the intersections
of N. 38th St. and Ames Ave., N. 58th St. and NW Radial Hwy., N. 30th St. and
Myrtle Ave., and S. 26th Ave. and Q St.
The callers can remain completely
anonymous and the tips will be investigated by Omaha Police Department Firearms
Squad. The goal of the campaign is to increase citizen involvement in making
Omaha safer and remind the public that they can report gun crimes anonymously.
