Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody was in Palm Beach County on Wednesday to announce a new partnership with former “America’s Most Wanted” host John Walsh and the Florida Association of Crime Stoppers.
The collaboration is working to encourage residents across the state to report crime anonymously and solve outstanding cases.

Moody said when she became attorney general in 2019 there were 27 different anonymous crime reporting lines across Florida.

"Many times those who commit crimes do not stay in the jurisdiction in which they commit crimes. They flee to other jurisdictions," Moody said. "They may reside in other jurisdictions, and we really need a way and a program to involve those in the communities who may have information about crime — which might not be in the jurisdiction in which that crime was committed. We need Floridians to feel a part of that process."
