Crime Stoppers of Southeast Texas
409-833-TIPS
Crime Stoppers encourages members of the community to assist local law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime by overcoming the two key elements that inhibit community involvement: fear and apathy.
Crime Stoppers provides a telephone number (409-833-8477), Web Tips, and a Mobile App (P3Tips App) to encourage citizens in the community to volunteer vital information helpful to law enforcement agencies to fight against crime.
You will not be asked for your name. You simply give the confidential information to the call taker. You will then receive a confidential code number. If your information leads to the arrest of a Felon or the solving of a crime, you could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.00.

Thank you for doing your part to stop the spread. We realize there are those individuals who refuse to comply with Stay Home- Work Safe Orders, or don't take this virus serious. We depend on the citizens that are doing everything possible to help fight the spread and are staying home and limiting trips for essential needs. Positive tests results will continue to rise. Please treat everyone you encounter as a possible carrier of COVID-19 instead of trying to figure out who has it and letting your guard down. Continue to use Social Distancing Protocol- stay at least 6 feet away from others, wash your hands and sanitize commonly used areas.
What are they doing for the homeless that have no home?
Judge Wayne McDanielIf you have any of the symptoms listed on this flyer, or additionally, if you are experiencing diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness, chills, fatigue... If you think you may have been exposed to COVID-19 by someone else who has tested positive, then call the Regional Call Center to be screened. We want to screen anyone who needs it, and test everyone who needs to be tested.

Judge Wayne McDanielTo Each and Every Citizen of Hardin County: I believe this is our largest one day increase in confirmed positive COVID-19 cases in Hardin County as well as the SETX Region. It is VERY important that you follow all Orders in place by President Trump, Governor Abbott, all County Judges and Mayors. These provisions were put in place to protect our citizens and are absolutely not meant to infringe on your Rights as an American/Texan. If you are skeptical of the prediction that up to 240,000 Americans (including approximately 7,000 Texans) will die as a result of COVID-19, I’ll tell you that I was too up until about 3 weeks ago. It is not too late to realize the magnitude of this disease and protect yourself and your family. I hope you will agree to do so now if you haven’t already!
Thank you to the Hardin County Health Department for keeping up with these daily statistics in addition to the extensive and sometimes overwhelming work they are doing on behalf of all citizens of Hardin and Orange Counties. Your tireless work does not go unnoticed and it truly appreciated by all.
Sincerely and Respectfully,
Wayne McDaniel
