Crime Stoppers is a partnership of concerned citizens and local law enforcement agencies working together to solve crimes. It provides a way to help solve crimes by calling in clues. A good clue can be a great advancement in solving a crime. Most of these sites are in outlying areas. Tools have been the primary target, although some household appliances have been taken as well.
