WHAT IS CRIME STOPPERS?
CRIME STOPPERS is a program which involves the public, the media, and the police in the fight against crime.
It offers anonymity and cash rewards to persons who furnish information leading to the arrest and the filing of criminal charges against felony crime offenders and to the capture of fugitives.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
When a call is received by CRIME STOPPERS, it is logged with the date, time, and brief summary of the caller's information. Callers are furnished with a secret code number which is used in subsequent transactions.
If a caller's information results in the arrest and the filing of criminal charges against a felony crime offender, or the apprehension of a felony fugitive, contact will be made with the caller and atrrangements made so that the person can receive his reward in CASH and preserve his anonymity.
MEDIA INVOLVEMENT?
In order to publicize the CRIME STOPPERS program and maintain a high profile in the community, a specific unsolved felony crime is selected each week and is described by local television, radio and printed media to their audiences or readers.
The descriptions by the various media help keep the public interest in CRIME STOPPERS at a high level and help locate an occasional "casual" witness to the crime who did not realize he or she was actually witnessing a crime.
WHO ADMINISTERS THE PROGRAM?
The CRIME STOPPERS Board of Directors is comprised of concerned citizens of the Saginaw Area who oversee the operation of the program.
NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION CRIME STOPPERS is a Non-Profit Organization and is funded entirely through donations from the public. Contributions are tax-deductible.
