What can you report to Crime Stoppers?:

Stephens County TX Crime Stoppers encourages members of the community to assist local law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime. Callers who submit tips remain anonymous and are eligible to receive a cash reward up to $1000 if their information leads to an arrest or indictment of an offender.

CRIME STOPPERS DOESN'T WANT YOUR NAME — JUST YOUR INFORMATION

There is always someone who has information that can help solve crime. Those are the people who can contact Crime Stoppers anonymously and provide a tip that will help investigators identify those responsible. In any investigation police and other law enforcement agencies encounter individuals who will not directly provide information.

The three key reasons are:

• Fear of reprisal
• An attitude of apathy
• Reluctance to get involved

Crime Stoppers breaks through these barriers by giving people the opportunity to provide information without directly speaking to police or having to testify in court. And they can receive cash rewards for their efforts.

Obviously investigators need witnesses to help prove their case in court, but most importantly, they need information that allows them to zero in on a suspect or a criminal operation such as a drug trafficking network. Your anonymous tip may just be the vital information needed to solve a crime or catch a criminal.
 

Tips to Crime Stoppers do not necessarily give police evidence they require to arrest an individual, but puts them on the right track to solve crime.
