August 2, 2011 - National Night Out and Crime Solvers
On the second Tuesday in August each year, National Night Out block parties are organized ALL over the USA to show a unity of law-abiding citizens against crime. 
On August 2, Chesterfield County participated in this national event. It was a PERFECT venue for representatives of CC/CH Crime Solvers to get out and meet the citizens who would be potential tipsters, sponsors or BOTH! Board members and law-enforcement coordinators circulated around Chesterfield to talk about the program and how it works to benefit their neighborhoods and the county as a whole. Literature and giveaways were passed out as Crime Solvers was explained to all who were curious. Crime Solvers representatives even spread the word about the upcoming bowling tournament, and explained how Crime Solvers is funded through donated monies. Crime Solvers was created for the purpose of giving citizens means of reporting information about unsolved crimes or fugitives without having to be identified. Crime Solvers would like to THANK all who organized and participated in this year's event, especially those who attended the county's first Latino National Night Out event at St. Augustine's church. It was a very productive evening.
April 16, 2011 - Girl Scout's Honor
CCCH Crime Solvers President Ab Quillian, Crime Solvers Unit Administrative Secretary Becky Adams and Detective Kevin Bacon all had the honor of being asked to present at a recent Girl Scout camping adventure. The room was packed with more than 60 young ladies and their adult chaperones, and all attention was on the presentation. They were a fantastic audience. If anyone would like a guest speaker for a local Boy or Girl Scout troop meeting, simply call the Crime Solvers office at 804-748-1278.
October 19, 2010 - Can You Spell "Anonymous"?
Mr. Charles "Chuck" Andolino speaks about Crime Solvers to a group of students at Chalkley Elementary. Students there received dictionaries donated from the Dale Ruritan club, and inside each dictionary was placed a Crime Solvers sticker. The Dale Ruritan club has consistently helped our Crime Solvers program through monetary donations and publicity events.
October 2, 2010 - Community Safety Day Hosted by The Home Depot
The Chesterfield County/Colonial Heights Crime Solvers Program would like to say, “Thank You!” to The Home Depot for inviting us to participate in their Community Safety Day on Saturday, October 2. 
The employees of The Home Depot did a great job organizing the event, and fun was had by all. Our own Detective Otero was on scene at the Chattanooga Plaza store location answering questions about the program and passing out Crime Solvers merchandise.
September 25, 2010 – Virginia Crime Stoppers Association Conference
Smithfield Station graciously hosted the annual VCSA (Virginia Crime Stoppers Association) conference in Smithfield, Virginia. The conference allowed for VCSA members across Virginia to meet and share their thoughts and ideas about what was making their programs work, and offer the opportunity for other programs to benefit from those successes. VCSA also provided invaluable training to the attending board of directors members, law-enforcement coordinators and media representatives.
On Saturday evening, the annual awards banquet, featuring keynote speaker Senator Jim Webb, Jr., was held at the Smithfield Station restaurant. The banquet was especially important to the Chesterfield County/Colonial Heights Crime Solvers program because one of our own directors, Mr. Martin Stith, Production Administrator for Comcast Cablevision, was honored with the Media Representative of the Year Award.
Congratulations to you, Martin! We appreciate all your hard work. Thank you, Senator Jim Webb, Jr., for speaking at the banquet and for posing for a photo with us. Also, we would also like to extent many “Thanks” to Smithfield Station for hosting and providing a great dinner.

August 28, 2010 - Flapjack Fundraiser Finished
We would like to say, "THANK YOU" to all who supported this most-recent Flapjack Fundraiser. 
The Applebee's staff was great as they opened up their restaurant and flipped flapjacks for the cause. The Chester Walmart came through (once again!) and donated juices and sugar-free syrup. We had two teen volunteers, Ryan Johnson and Meggan Bottoms, give of their Saturday to help out as well. Ryan and Meggan, numerous members from our Board of Directors and two of our law enforcement coordinators collected donations, greeted and sat guests, served drinks, assembled breakfast plates, refilled drinks, washed dishes, cleaned and reset tables and generally just had a GREAT time. We will post pictures as soon as they are available. Our next Flapjack Fundraiser has its target in the Colonial Heights area, so BE ON THE LOOKOUT.
