Sheriff Announces New Rogers
County Tip Line Sheriff Scott Walton announced the creation of a new Rogers County Sheriff Tip Line. The Tip Line is an unmanned automated message system which can be used by the public to report information to the Sheriff's Office without requiring the assistance of a deputy or investigator. "Tip lines are powerful tools," Walton said. "There's so many instances where a person may have information that we really need but they're just not willing to become involved or they're fearful of becoming involved. The tip line creates an avenue for those people to do what they know is right without having to place themselves in the often uncomfortable position of calling a deputy or investigator." The tip line operates 24-hours per day, seven days per week and callers have the option of remaining anonymous. "If someone wants to remain anonymous, they're welcome to," said Walton, "there's always the option of leaving your name and number for an investigator to return the call but it's not required." Walton said he anticipates the majority of calls will be about drugs but hopes to see calls related to other crimes, especially property crimes. "Property crimes, by their nature, are difficult to investigate and there's often very little information to start with but there's always someone out there who has the information we need in order to better investigate." "Crime is everyone's business. Everyone has to do their part to sure make Rogers County is a safe place and it's hard to judge which piece of information is the exact piece we need to solve a case."
