How
does Crime Stoppers work?
-
Tipster calls the phone number and doesn't have to give their
name
-
Tip is forwarded to law enforcement
-
Law enforcement work the information
-
If
an arrest is made based on the tip, tipster is eligible for
up to $1000 cash
-
Tipster collects money from the bank
But more
importantly, why does Crime Stoppers work?
-
Cash overcomes apathy--with
the potential to receive up to $1000, the rewards
can be great.
-
Anonymity overcomes fear of reprisal--by
enabling the tipster to remain anonymous, there is no way that
their name can be used against them by giving information to
Crime Stoppers.
-
Good citizens make all the difference--when
people call to report tips on a crime, or the identification of
a suspect, they are doing a favor for all of Cowlitz County--to
have less crime, fewer drugs, and a better place to live.
