The Brownwood Area Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting event on April 27th for their newest member, Heart of Texas Crime Stoppers.
Heart of Texas Crime Stoppers is a nonprofit organization governed by an elected board of directors and by a law enforcement coordinator working with the local law enforcement community. The purpose of Heart of Texas Crime Stoppers, Inc. is to reward members of the local area for confidential information regarding unsolved crimes in Brown, Coleman and Mills County, Texas.
