Criminals shouldn't run free. Criminals should be behind bars, paying for the crimes they have committed. In Grand Junction, there are ten such criminals currently free that should not be.

A few words of caution are warranted, however.

First, do NOT try to apprehend these criminals yourself. Do not CONFRONT these individuals. Call the Grand Junction Police Department at the non-emergency line, 970-242-6707. And if you prefer to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 800-221-7867.
