Secret Witness program boosts crime tips in Kern County
Kern Countys Secret Witness program shows good results with 6 percent fall in Bakersfield area burglaries from 1975-76 to 1976-77. Todd Madigan of American Legion Post 26 told Shafter Rotarians that the program, started by the Bakersfield Californian in 1976, is co sponsored by the Legion with city and county law enforcement. The effort aims to involve the public while guaranteeing informants anonymity. Shafters Mayor Elmer Unruh City Manager William Sheldon and Police Chief Bob Nix attended as guests, noting Shafter also runs a similar program to aid crime solving.
