Dave Ward tours future Crime Stoppers building named after him

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Eyewitness News anchor Dave Ward spent Wednesday afternoon taking a special tour.

Ward got a look at the new Crime Stoppers building that will be named in his honor: The Dave Ward Crime Stoppers Building. It is scheduled to open in the fall.

Ward first teamed up with Crime Stoppers to help law enforcement make arrests and solve crimes 35 years ago.

"It's such a great program and has done so much to put so many thousands of felons in prison where they belong," Ward said.

The three-story building is located on Main Street and will offer new technology and free programs for the community.
