A board of prominent citizens oversees the Crime Stoppers program and approves the rewards to be paid, based on information presented by the Law Enforcement Coordinator. This board does not know who called in the information. The board is presented the facts and the code number is the only identifier used. Crime Stoppers is a nonprofit organization and is funded entirely through donations from the public and through probation fees paid by criminal offenders. Contributions are tax deductible.
All citizens benefit.
There is a greater awareness of crime in the community and stronger contributions in solving crime, making Wise County a safer place to live. Communications between law enforcement officials and the community working in cooperation with the Crime Stoppers program. Better media relations and cooperation between the police and community.
