If a caller's information results in the arrest or indictment of an offender or wanted person, contact with the caller will be through a call back system and arrangements made so that the person can receive his reward in CASH and preserve his anonymity. A crime Stoppers Board of Directors, composed of citizens from all areas of the community, oversees the operation of the program and approves the rewards to be paid. The determination of these rewards is based on information presented by the Police Coordinators. The Board of Directors does not know who called in the information - only the facts of the case and the caller's Crime Stoppers number. Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization and is funded entirely through public donations.
Contributions are tax deductible.
The caller is assured anonymity by using this method. Each week, an unsolved crime is selected as the crime of the week. Crime Stoppers is working - and without spending any tax dollars.
