There have been and are a variety of crimes that are committed in the City or against City officials or employees where action must be taken to arrest the person(s) responsible in order to protect the public peace, health and safety. Apprehension of the person(s) responsible for such crimes and obtaining sufficient evidence to arrest and convict them requires the cooperation of knowledgeable witnesses. It is therefore in the best interest of the City and its residents, including the protection and safety of the persons and property within the City, that there be a program for offering and giving rewards to persons(s) who furnish information that results in the arrest and conviction of persons charged with committing such crimes.
