Mayor Barrett Statement on WeTip Billboard Donation

Milwaukee, WI -- "I want to thank Clear Channel for coming forward with this very generous gift. Clear Channel's donation will help us publicize the WeTip, [1-800-78-CRIME], hotline on 35 billboards throughout the City. The billboards will encourage citizens to call the police with information that can help solve crimes.

"The WeTip hotline ensures that citizens can come forward without fear of retaliation," said Mayor Tom Barrett. "I strongly encourage citizens to use the WeTip hotline. Our hard working police officers will appreciate the help."
