FREEPORT — Registration is now open to “Tee off on Crime” at the Stateline Area Crime Stoppers’ second annual golf outing Sept. 19.
Registration also begins on the day of the event at 8 a.m. with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. at The Freeport Club.
Back this year are the crime scene bunkers, perjury passes, roll the dice to lower your score and special hole-in-one games. New this year will be the option to tee off with a golf ball launcher provided by Gahm Enterprises. Food, beverages and snacks will be available on the course. Lunch will be provided during our awards ceremony where top golfers and top officers will be honored.
Sponsorships are available, as well as the option to Sponsor a Cop by paying their fees and treating them to a well-deserved day of fun. If you’re not a golfer, there is an option to join for lunch only. Proceeds from Tee Off on Crime go toward crime prevention in Stephenson County.
In the past year, the Stateline Area Crime Stoppers have given grants to the Stephenson County Sheriff’s Office, Freeport Police Department and to a criminal justice student at Highland Community College. In addition, they sponsored a public informational seminar on situational awareness and brought a nationally known speaker to talk to every public junior high and high school in the county about protecting children from internet predators. A session for parents was also held.
