What is CrimeStoppers?
CrimeStoppers is a non-profit organization relying on cooperation between police, news media, and citizens. CrimeStoppers combines these efforts in our community’s fight against crime. CrimeStoppers encourages people to call in-anonymously-with information to solve crimes that have already been committed, suspect that a crime has been committed, and/or the whereabouts of wanted persons.
Crawford County CrimeStoppers is a non-profit organization operated by a Board of Directors made up of citizens with a wide variety of backgrounds, but like you, they share one thing in common: they want to live in a community that's as safe and secure as possible. That's why they're donating their time and effort in the fight against crime. It is the duty of the board to oversee the operation of the program and approve rewards to be paid. The Board of Directors does NOT know who called in the information. They only know the facts of the case.
Crawford County CrimeStoppers follows the guidelines and directions set out by National CrimeStoppers in its day-to-day operation. Trained individuals answer its toll-free tips line (1-888-596-STOP) 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, taking completely anonymous tips on any criminal activity. (If you witness a crime in progress, you should call 911). Your information will be taken in strictest confidence. Anonymity is protected and you never have to give your name. You remain anonymous and there is no fear of retaliation. It is not necessary to testify in court. You will be given a code number. This should be kept to yourself in order to remain anonymous. After several weeks, call CrimeStoppers back, giving your confidential tip code number and you will receive an update on the status of the investigation.
Tips that lead to the arrest of suspects are eligible for cash rewards of up to $1,000.00, which are paid to tipsters on an anonymous basis.
