Silent Observer lets citizens anonymously help law enforcement control crime

Keeping crime in check is one of the most important aspects in maintaining the wonderful quality of life Barry County residents enjoy, Barry Central Dispatch 911 Director Phyllis Fuller said.

“However, crime prevention is not the sole responsibility of law enforcement. Statistics show the community’s involvement in cooperation with law enforcement’s efforts is the most effective way to control crime,” she said.

 

Barry County Silent Observer is a county-wide program giving residents a safe and anonymous way to report crime. It’s mission is to provide a channel of communication to help law enforcement by encouraging citizen and business participation and support to help insure a safer community, Fuller said.

 

To benefit the Silent Observer program, those with returnable bottles and cans are asked to drop them off at the Charity House during the month of September. A refundable can and bottle recycling center, the Charity House is next to the Waste Water Treatment Plant on Apple Street in Hastings.
