Sheriff Receives Funding for ‘Turn in Your Neighbor’ Crime Prevention Program
Every single incident, whether its Newtown, that movie theater, or the guy who spouts off at work and then goes home and kills his wife and two kids in every single case, there were people who said they knew ahead of time that there was a problem, Bradshaw said. If the neighbor of the mom in Newtown had called somebody, this might have saved 25 kids lives.
Bradshaw is readying a hotline and is planning public service announcements to encourage local citizens to report their neighbors, friends or family members if they fear they could harm themselves or others.
The goal wont be to arrest troubled people but to get them help before theres violence, Bradshaw said. As a side benefit, law enforcement will have needed information to keep a close eye on things.
We want people to call us if the guy down the street says he hates the government, hates the mayor and hes gonna shoot him, Bradshaw said. What does it hurt to have somebody knock on a door and ask, Hey, is everything OK?

Well they don't say they hate the mayor. They say they hate the president.
