This plan has worked successfully for several years. Webster Police Department has tended to the Crime Stoppers telephone and the dissemination of information since 1992. Connie Escamilla is the Law Enforcement Coordinator and work closely with the board of directors of Crime Stoppers. Crime Stoppers Is Information Information is received at Crime Stoppers by telephone. When Crime Stoppers receives a call, it is logged with the date, time and summary of the caller's information.
Callers remain anonymous with no pressure to reveal their identity and still collect their rewards.
To assure anonymity, callers are given code number which is used by the caller in subsequent transactions with Crime Stoppers. Callers are instructed to call back and using their code, check on the case. The information given by the caller is forwarded to the proper investigating agency. All reward payment summaries are submitted to the board by the Law Enforcement Coordinator. When it is approved, the caller is told to go to the local bank driveup window.
