Crime Solvers Joins Facebook and Launches Deadbeat Parents Page

Fairfax County Crime Solvers is pleased to announce two new tools in their fight against crime! They hope to reach more people by utilizing Facebook and implementing a new Deadbeat Parents page on their website.

Social network sites have increasingly gained in popularity during recent years. More than 400 million people are members of Facebook, which was rated the number one global, social-networking site in December 2009, according to a recent Nielson Company survey. Fairfax County Crime Solvers hopes Facebook members throughout the region and nation will become “fans” of their page and follow their updates. Crime Solvers regularly posts information on wanted persons, unsolved crimes, suspects caught in the act and more.

Virginia State Police Facebook fans have already been credited with the apprehension of a fugitive. Now fans of Fairfax County Crime Solvers can do the same!  There is no cost to join Facebook, but users must sign up at www.facebook.com .

Fairfax County Crime Solvers has also launched a new page on their website, www.fairfaxcrimesolvers.org devoted to Deadbeat Parents. Failure to pay child support is a crime! Viewers may visit the website weekly to see the new faces of these Deadbeat Parents and other wanted fugitives as well. Contact Crime Solvers if you recognize them!

Tipsters may contact Fairfax County Crime Solvers by phone at 1-866-411-TIPS(8477), e-mail at www.fairfaxcrimesolvers.org or text “TIP187” plus your message to CRIMES(274637). A $100 to $1,000 cash reward will be paid for information that leads to an arrest. As always, callers never have to give their names or appear in court.
