How Rewards are Paid
Area citizens have volunteered their time and formed a board of directors to
oversee the Crime Stoppers program. This board approves the rewards to be
paid, based on information about the case presented by the Police
Coordinator.
Once the
board approves a reward and the caller has called back to check on the case,
the Police Coordinator will give the caller instructions on how to pick up
the reward. The caller is given secret code information and directed to a
local bank. The caller will give the bank teller the code number and after
the number has been verified by the teller, the caller will receive an
envelope containing the cash reward money.
No one ever knows the identity of the caller.
Providing Information to Help Solve the Crime
If
you know about any felony or misdemeanor crime, we want you to be able to
collect your reward. You must give as many details as possible about the
crime when you leave your message.
We
need this information to help the police make the arrest and indictment.
