The results have been nothing less than impressive. Since its inception, the Crime Stoppers program has solved more than 1,3 cases with more than 1,200 arrests. Additionally, Crime Stoppers tips have recovered more than 1.5 million dollars worth of stolen property and narcotics.

In 1999 , Crime Stoppers began an ambitious new program called the "50 Most Wanted", publishing the photos of felons most-wanted by local authorities. The newspaper insert was a rousing success and will be repeated quarterly. Crime Stoppers has also aided in the start up of several Crime Stoppers Programs in area high schools.

Our financial foundation is the result of private and corporate donations. The majority of our donations come through our annual fundraising banquet held each May.

Crime Stoppers is governed by a citizen's board of directors. There is no paid staff.
