Additional information, along with the photo associated with this podcast, from the Brazos County Crime Stoppers Facebook page:

Brazos County Crime Stoppers is pleased to announce two new programs, the Stash House program in partnership with Texas DPS and Texas Crime Stoppers, and our new show vehicle.

Brazos County Crime Stoppers will pay $1500 for information that leads to the recovery of a significant quantity of illegal narcotics in our community, defined as a quantity that investigators believe is for delivery to dealers. We will also pay $1500 for information that leads to the recovery of a victim of human trafficking. This is in addition to any reward for an arrest in these situations.

If the local investigation into these crimes reveals a potential trans-national connection, we will hand off to DPS in which case they will pay up to $2500 for that information. https://www.dps.texas.gov/.../texas-stash-house-rewards... is the link to the State’s program. We hope that by implementing a local version of this program, we can make a significant dent in those crimes in our area, and continue to keep our community safe.

We’d also like to unveil the new Brazos County CrimeStoppers vehicle! This former patrol car has been repurposed and custom wrapped by CC Creations to help us be more visible throughout Bryan College Station and Brazos County, and will be available for events going forward.

We’d like to thank the Brazos County Sheriff’s Office for helping to make this possible, and to all law enforcement agencies throughout Brazos County for your support and efforts every day.
