-Report Tips 24/7
-The Crimestoppers program is the guaranteed anonymity of people who provide information. Each caller is assigned a number when calling in–in most cases, the caller’s identity is not known to the volunteer who answers the call. The informant is told to call back at a specific time to learn if s/he has earned a reward. The Crimestoppers Board of Directors decides which tips receive rewards.
