Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi - Welcome to Crime Stoppers
Description
Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi, Inc. had its humble beginnings with some of the planning being done in late 1992. On January 5, 1993 the Crime Stoppers mailing address and telephone line was established. The first formal meeting was held on January 18, 1993 at the Mall at Barnes Crossing.
The program is a community based, non-profit registered corporation, managed by a civilian volunteer board of directors. It is a crime information collection operation, which enables any one with information about the crime, and who wishes to remain anonymous, to pass that information on to law enforcement through a neutral organization. The program works because of its unique partnership between the public, the media and law enforcement, working together to resolve community problems through the apprehension of criminals and prevention of crime. It is an effective partnership because everyone shares an equal role in solving crime.
Crime Stoppers of Northeast Mississippi is composed of and services a six county area: Alcorn, Chickasaw, Lee, Pontotoc, Prentiss and Union. The board of directors currently numbers seventeen members. The Executive Committee consists of the Board Chairman, Vice Chariman, Secretary, Treasurer and Past Chairman. The Tupelo Police Department serves as the host law enforcement agency and provides a law enforcement coordinator, as well as other resources.
