APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – Outagamie County Sheriff’s Department has seen success in a new way to catch criminals.
Last month, the Sheriff’s Department began posting faces of suspects with outstanding warrants on billboards, and that yielded in two arrests.
Sheriff Officials say both suspects were arrested for violating their sex offender registry requirements and another was taken into custody for failing to report to jail.
Officials say the advertisements will be focused on those with more “significant charges.”
The billboard space is being provided at no cost.
