How Does Crime Stoppers Work?
Each week
the Crime Stoppers program broadcast information about unsolved crimes;
Henderson-Vance’s most wanted and additional information can be found on the
internet at www.hvcrimestoppers.com
Citizens
may call the Crime Stoppers telephone number and report information about a
case or any unsolved crime.
The caller
is given a code number to ensure confidentiality and anonymity.
Crime Stoppers pays cash rewards of up to $1000 for information
leading to the arrest and/or conviction of criminals or the recovery of
stolen property or illegal drugs.
Getting Involved Without “ Getting Involved”
Too often,
people with vital information about crimes fail to contact the police
because they fear retaliation or because they do not want to testify in
court. The result of their reluctance is that many criminals are still
terrorizing our streets and neighborhoods.
Crime
Stoppers allows you to get involved and you do not have to give your name
and you need not testify in court.
Who Benefits From Crime
Stoppers?
We all
benefit when dangerous criminals are taken off the streets.
A criminal
who is removed from our community is no longer a threat to you, your
children, or your business. In a community where citizens work together to
solve crimes, the threat of capture and swift punishment serves as a strong
deterrent to would he criminals.
