Crime Prevention Awards
MILWAUKEE -- The 69th annual "Crime Prevention Awards" were handed out Thursday, Feb. 1 in Milwaukee.
The ceremony recognized residents and law enforcement officials who have made the Milwaukee area a better place to live and work. This year's award for "outstanding individual involved in crime prevention" was given to Michael Hupy.
Hupy has taken it upon himself to offer rewards to help with the arrest and convictions of people involved in violent crimes.
"No one wants crime, but I'm disappointed that more people don't come forward by giving information that will help police solve these crimes. When a reward of five figures is pending for over a year and no one's coming forward, I think that's a pretty sad commentary," Hupy with Hupy and Abraham S.C. said.
A total of 10 awards were handed out to individuals and organizations recognizing their efforts in the community.
The below individuals were honored during the ceremony, organized by LISC Milwaukee and Safe and Sound, and held at the Wisconsin Club. (This info. according to a news release from organizers):
