No. 27

(House Joint Resolution No. 116)

A House Joint Resolution concerning

Crime Solvers

FOR the purpose of urging the Governor to appoint a
commission to consider the adoption of a Crime Solvers
Program throughout the State to gather information and
evidence to solve felony crimes and assist in the
capture of wanted persons.

WHEREAS, The number of felony crimes are increasing
each year at an alarming rate; and

WHEREAS, The climbing crime rate is not an isolated
community problem, but rather a statewide threat to society;
and

WHEREAS, Despite the best efforts of the police
departments throughout this State, criminals continue to
commit felonys almost at will, and most of these criminals
remain free to strike out against society again and again;
and
