The Valley's Silent Witness program will soon be seen in government offices, and likely in businesses. The program's coordinator, Sgt. Paul Penzone, has secured three corporate sponsors who have paid for the purchase of dozens of TVs, and for video production costs.
The program, which will be updated monthly, will feature unsolved crimes, wanted fugitives, crime-fighting tips, and other police-related items. (See photo below of sample screen shot.) It will be played in a continuous loop.
Initially, Penzone says, the TVs will be located in the public lobby of police departments around the Valley. He hopes to expand it to the lobbies of other government offices with high public traffic, and eventually to high-traffic areas of businesses such as stores, tire shops, medical offices, etc.
The idea, he says, is to make more people aware of Silent Witness' mission and cases, and to get as many eyes and ears as possible helping solve crimes.
If you have any information on cases, call (480) WITNESS (480-948-6377). For more information about Silent Witness, visit www.silentwitness.org .
