Rewards are available for any caller who provides information
leading to the arrest and charge of a suspect.
Not every piece
of information is eligible for a reward, and not every caller
wants a reward - in fact, our statistics indicate that less than 40% of callers who can claim a
reward actually do so. All rewards are paid without compromising a
caller’s anonymity.
If a caller to the Crime Stoppers office
requires a reward, the caller is given a code number, then asked
to call back on a given date.
Tips that lead to the arrest and charge of a suspect, as well as the
recovery of stolen property and drugs, are eligible for cash
rewards of up to $1,000, which are
paid to tipsters on an anonymous basis.
If the information brings about an arrest and charge, a
reward is authorized by the Board of Directors. When the caller
calls back, they will be informed of the location to pick up their reward anonymously. They
will go to the location on a given date and quote the code numbers
to the staff.
The reward will then be paid in cash, with no signature or
personal details supplied.
In this way, Crime Stoppers continues to protect your
identity and ensure your anonymity.
