Mayor Jones Announces Bulletproof Mobile Initiative

May 12th, 2009

Mayor Sam Jones, in conjunction with the Mobile Police Department, has launched a new initiative to end illicit gun possession and use—primarily among youths. The program, titled Bulletproof Mobile, is designed to encourage citizens to report illicit guns and their use. Citizens who have information regarding the illegal firing of a weapon within the Mobile Police jurisdiction or the location of an illicit gun are urged to anonymously report the information to Mobile Area CrimeStoppers at 208-7000.

Details which result in an arrest or the acquisition of an illicit firearm will result in a $100 reward. According to Mayor Jones, the goal of Bulletproof Mobile is simple. ”What we’re trying to do is save lives,” he says.
