Code Name “Fear Mongering?”

J.B. Van Hollen’s Crime Alert Network is just what your typical concealed carry paranoid needs stay alive.

Superior Telegram: Van Hollen said it is his goal as attorney general (is) to get people involved in Wisconsin’s new Crime Alert Network … to solve crimes and protect communities. At present, the attorney general said, fewer than 1,000 people have signed up for crime alerts.

Van Hollen said the program, which costs $12 per year to join, can help businesses and individuals protect themselves against crime. The $12 annual fee means taxpayers aren’t funding the system.

Law enforcement officers issue alerts at no cost. To enroll or to learn more, go to www.wisconsincrimealert.gov.
