IME
CRIME STOPPERS IS A NON-PROFIT
charitable organization owned and operat-
ed by the community In which it serves. This
combines the best efforts of the community,
the media and the police to fight the ongo-
ing battle against crime. Crime Stoppers
works in conjunction with local investigative
agencies, including local police services to
help bring justice to unsolved incidents of
crime. In addition, a police officer is assigned
to Crime Stoppers to help the civilian board
of directors to carry out the program. In
such though, when callers contact Crime
Stoppers, they are contacting a community
program, not a police program.
Crime Stoppers encourages the public
to anonymously report information on
crime. The main goal of the program is to
reduce the level Of crime within the com-
munity. Although Crime Stoppers is in
the business of solving crimes, there is a
long-range goal of crime prevention. A com-

munity with an effective and successful
Crime Stoppers program acts as a deterrent
for would-be criminals. Crime Stoppers is a
"crime prevention" program that has the
power to help solve any crime. Crime
Stoppers exists for the betterment of the
community it serves,
A Crime Stoppers tip is not evidence and
investigators must independently verify
every tip before a tip can be acted upon.
The contents of a tip must be confirmed
through an Independent investigation. A
Crime Stoppers tip is Just the starting
point of an investigation. People cannot be
wrongly accused by way of a charge or an
arrest because of a vengeful tip.
If you are interested in a presentation
on how Crime Stoppers works or would
like to volunteer as a member of the Board
of Directors, please call Police Coordinator
Shawn McFaIls at 527-1353.
