Frankie Nobles has been named president of the Henderson-Vance Crime Stoppers, according to Henderson Police Chief Marcus Barrow. Nobles is Vance County’s chief of animal services.
Tonya Moore is vice president, and James Baines is secretary of the group. Danny Wright continues to serve as treasurer and Lorraine Watkins remains the state board representative.
The local Crime Stoppers program brings together members of the community, media, law enforcement and businesses to solve crimes.
A statement on the local social media page explains how Crime Stoppers works: “Citizens are encouraged through cash rewards and a promise of anonymity to provide information leading to the arrest and indictment of criminals. Crime Stoppers is governed by a board of volunteer directors dedicated toward making the community a safer place to live and work. A director is elected by the board to oversee the Crime Stoppers Program, receive confidential information about crimes, and to forward the information to the appropriate law enforcement agency.”
