The 2009 Moonlight Walk Against Drugs was held on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 at 7pm at Elmer Thomas Park. The Ribbon Cutting and Kickoff took place at 7pm, with the Walk starting immediately after. 

Prior to the start of the Walk, from 6pm-7pm, there were several static displays and events near the start of the walk, this being the area of NW 6th and Ferris Ave. Our static displays this year included the OHP, OSBI CSI Van, Crash Test Dummies, McGruff the Crime Dog, Police K-9 (Dog) Demo, Comanche County Sheriff’s Dept., LPD S.W.A.T. Display and more. Additionally, Moonlight Walk short sleeve t-shirts were available, as supplies lasted, at a cost of $10.00 each. We also had long sleeve t-shirts available, as supplies lasted, at a cost of $15.00 each.

We requested citizens to organize teams representing their work, church, school, civic organization, etc., and come out and walk as a group. Det. Brent Yarbrough was the contact @ 580-581-3210 or 355-4636.

The public was encouraged to attend this event and show support in keeping our community and especially our children drug free. This is Crime Stoppers/Drug Busters largest annual fundraiser. The monies raised for Crime Stoppers go to pay rewards to callers who provide information leading to felony arrests and crimes solved.

Keep the tips coming to help us rid our Southwest Oklahoma area of drugs and crime and we will see you all at this year’s Moonlight Walk Against Drugs. Also, keep in touch with us for details about next years Moonlight Walk Against Drugs.
