ATF
& CBS Outdoors Partner in Ad Campaign Encourages Citizens to Report
Firearm-Related
Crimes
Philadelphia – Sheree L. Mixell, Special
Agent in Charge of the Philadelphia Field Division of the U.S. Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) today announced the launching
of an advertising campaign in Philadelphia, PA., in an attempt to encourage the
public to report firearm-related crimes.
Several billboards in the Philadelphia
area, displaying the message pictured below, provide the public with a phone
number, 1-800-ATF-GUNS, which can be utilized to report gun crime 24/7.
Individuals providing information may remain anonymous. Depending on the level of
assistance, citizens may be eligible for monetary awards if the information
leads to a successful prosecution.
The goal of the campaign is to increase
citizen involvement in making communities safer and remind the public that it
can report gun crime anonymously.
ATF has worked in conjunction with CBS
Outdoors Advertising, which donated a substantial amount of the advertising
space on both electronic and stationary billboards throughout the city of
Philadelphia and outlying areas.
More information on ATF and its programs
may be located at ATF.gov.
