The amount will be determined by the Crimestoppers Board. For instance, a high profile case in Albuquerque, like the Hollywood Video store murders, took precedence when all detectives were working on that case. Another example is the Halloween Skinhead beating case. A homicide detective took over that case and was told that it took precedence because APD neglected to respond to the beating. There was no murder involved but it was made a top priority.
Every case is high priority when it is initially responded to.
As the detectives work the leads in the case it may either result in an arrest or a decrease in its priority. There will be times when the chief or mayor may order a case be given priority over others. We will not ignore other cases that are already being investigated. This is a case by case situation. We try to protect critical witnesses in the case by not using their identity, but when the case goes to trial the witnesses identity may be divulged.
