Community Relations

Crime Stoppers is made up of volunteers who are willing to take action against crime. They want their communities to be safe and are willing to work to make it that way. A board of directors — members of the community who have volunteered to give their time and talents to the program — administer the program.

Information related to unsolved crimes, crimes in progress and wanted persons are distributed to the community via the media. Citizens are encouraged to call Crime Stoppers and anonymously give any information related to the unsolved crime. Crime Stoppers forwards the information to the investigating law enforcement agency to assist in the investigation or the location of a wanted fugitive. If the information is used by law enforcement and leads to an arrest, the caller would be eligible to receive a cash reward.

Your community benefits. A criminal who is taken off of the streets of your community is not a threat to you, your children or your business. In a community where citizens work together to solve crimes, the threat of swift, sure punishment serves as a strong deterrent to would-be criminals.

Crime Stoppers is funded mostly by private donations. Individuals, professional associations, corporations, retailers, civic and social groups are our main source of revenue. Crime Stoppers' only purpose is to make our communities a better and safer place to live and we need your help to reach that goal. Crime Stoppers gives every citizen the opportunity to actually do something about the problem of crime in their community.
