The Board of Directors is made up of concerned citizens, who actively helped to guide the program.  They are directly responsible for all fund raising and the administration of the reward monies.  The Board of Directors of meets monthly to coordinate projects and review progress.

How Does Crime Stoppers Work?

By the guarantee that anyone with information about a serious crime may tell what they know, remain anonymous, and be eligible for a reward.  If your information leads to arrest, indictment, recovery of stolen property, or seizure of narcotics, you can be eligible for up to $2000 reward.

The validity of information received on the phone line is checked by the police coordinator, then dispatched to the appropriate division.  The caller is assigned a special "code number" and advised to call back in a specific interval of time, to check on progress of the case. In all future contacts, the caller is identified only by code number, thus maintaining the anonymity.

When the information leads to arrest, indictment, property recovery or narcotics seizure, the agency involved immediately notifies the Police Coordinator.  This is included in the monthly report brought before the Board of Directors, and the amount of reward is then determined.  The caller is advised how and when to collect and the anonymity is still maintained.
