Crime Stoppers has made huge strides towards reducing crime
in Michigan. This
year the tips increased by 44% to 5,900 and a record number of felony arrests
were made. In 2013, the tips are expected to increase by another 19% to just
less than 7,000.
Crime Stoppers promises absolute anonymity to their tipsters. For
example:
-
Their call center is in Canada; it is not local.
-
No caller ID is used.
-
Crime Stoppers employees never ask for name, gender, or contact information.
-
No one knows the identity – not even police.
Crime Stoppers also offers rewards to those who turn in tips
that lead to an arrest. Great care is taken to make sure the identity of the
reward recipient is also kept anonymous. The rewards are funded primarily by
memberships and donations as well as an annual recognition dinner each fall.
To reach Crime Stoppers, call 1-800-SPEAK-UP (773-2587).
