Empowering Our Community to Fight Crime Together
Our local Crime Stoppers program is a citizen-led, non-profit organization dedicated to making our community safer by partnering with residents, media, and law enforcement to solve crimes and prevent criminal activity.
We offer cash rewards of up to $1,000 to individuals who provide anonymous information that leads to the arrest of criminals and fugitives. Your safety and anonymity are guaranteed – every caller receives a unique code number to ensure complete confidentiality.
Why Crime Stoppers Works
Crime Stoppers was created to overcome the three major barriers that prevent people from reporting crimes:
Fear of REPRISAL
Many people hesitate to report crimes because they worry about retaliation from criminals or their associates.
Attitude of APATHY
Some community members feel disconnected from crime-fighting efforts or believe their information won’t make a difference.
Reluctance to get INVOLVED
Others simply don’t want to get caught up in lengthy legal proceedings or court appearances.
Our Solution
Crime Stoppers eliminates these barriers by providing:
Complete ANONYMITY
We guarantee your identity will never be revealed. You don’t have to give your name, appear in court, or testify.
Your privacy is protected by law.
Cash REWARDS
When your anonymous tip leads to an arrest, you can receive up to $1,000 as a thank you for helping make our community safer.
Professional Support
Our secure tip line and web connection are managed by trained program coordinators who ensure your information reaches the right law enforcement agencies quickly and confidentially.
How Our Three-Way Partnership Works
Community Leadership
Our program is governed by dedicated local citizens who serve as volunteer board directors. These community leaders:
- Establish program policies and procedures
- Determine reward amounts and payment methods
- Work closely with law enforcement and media partnersOversee fundraising efforts to support our mission
- Provide volunteer service to keep our program running effectively
Your donations make our program possible. We are funded entirely through tax-deductible contributions from local businesses, corporations, individuals, and service organizations. No tax dollars are used.
Media Partnership
Local media outlets are essential partners in our crime-fighting efforts. Through print, broadcast, and online platforms, they help us:
- Publicize our program and how to submit tips
- Feature unsolved crimes and “Crimes of the Week”
- Highlight cold cases that need community attention
- Share information about wanted fugitives
- Raise awareness about narcotics activity and gang-related crimes
- Alert the public to suspected terrorist activity
Law Enforcement Collaboration
Our local law enforcement agencies are the backbone of our program. They:
- Receive and investigate all anonymous tips submitted through Crime Stoppers
- Work diligently to solve crimes using the information provided
- Process reward payments when tips lead to arrests
- Maintain the confidentiality of all tipsters
- Provide updates on case progress and outcomes
Your Role in Community Safety
Every piece of information matters. You might know something that seems small or insignificant, but it could be the key detail that helps solve a serious crime. Whether it’s:
Suspicious activity in your neighborhood
- Information about an unsolved crime
- Knowledge about drug activity
- Details about wanted fugitives
- Gang-related activities
Your anonymous tip could make all the difference.
Making Our Community Safer Together
Crime Stoppers works because it empowers ordinary citizens like you to take an active role in community safety without putting yourself at risk. By working together – citizens, media, and law enforcement – we create a powerful force against crime that makes our neighborhoods safer for everyone.
Your community needs you. Your anonymity is protected. Your contribution matters.
