Thompson Honored
Sheriff Donny Turner
announced today that Larry
Thompson, Sr. has been posthu-
mously given the first ever
Troup County Crime
Prevention award. A plaque will
be presented to his widow,
Carolyn Thompson.
Thompson was the owner of
WTRP radio station at the time
of his death in September and
was the host of the popular
morning radio program
"Straight Talk." The show often
gave law enforcement officers
a chance to talk about issues in
the community and also
allowed listeners a chance to
call in with their concerns.
"Every time we had a new
crime prevention program to
start, we always went through
Larry and WTRP to present it
to the people and ask for their
opinion," Sheriff Turner says.
"We debuted the Junior Deputy
program the Neighborhood
Watch program, D.A.R.E., the
Explorers and even Crime
Stoppers on Larry's show. He
would give us a chance to pitch
it to the people and that allowed
them to give us feedback.
"His listeners could always
count on him to let them know
what was going on with local
laws and ways they could get
involved. We felt that he prob-
ably helped us out as much as
any person in the community
over the last seven years,"
Turner continues.
Thompson could be heard
many mornings reminding cit-
izens to turn on their headlights
while driving in the rain or
telling people to slow down on
the roads.
"He always allowed us to
tell people what we needed to
say," Turner continues. "But,he
was always ready to tell the peo-
ple what he needed to say as
well. That's what set 'Larry
apart from all the others. He
was fair and we always appre-
ciated that the people of Troup
County and law enforcement
officers across the area all ben-
efited from what he stood for."
Thompson is the first ever
recipient of the Troup County
Crime Prevention Award. In
future years, the award will be
given out to commemorate the
beginning of Crime Prevention
Month which is always held in
October.
Many events are scheduled
for the area this month to mark
Crime Prevention Month
including the annual tying of
red ribbons on county borders
around Troup County.
