The Benton Police Department is launching the “On Your Tail” crime reduction initiative for the month of January. This initiative is being conducted in response to a recent rise in property crimes occurring within the city.
As part of the initiative, we will utilize not only uniformed patrol officers, but also plain clothes officers to stay on criminals “tail.” We are going to be conducting saturation patrols of recent high crime areas and enhancing our patrols to keep the pressure on criminals who decide to violate the law in Benton.
Although detectives have made two recent arrests that are related to numerous related property crimes, there are other crimes that have occurred and are still being investigated.
Anyone with information about a crime is always encouraged to contact the Benton Police Department at 501-778-1171 or 501-315-TIPS. Individuals also may send us an anonymous crime tip about this incident to CRIMES (274637) with the keyword BNPD in the body of the text or go to www.crimereports.com to leave a tip. A crime tip can also be submitted via the official Benton Police Department app found on ITunes and Google Play.
