Description
What is Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers?
It is a volunteer organization of local citizens and business people dedicated to the reduction of crime, to the prompt solution of crimes, and to rewarding persons who provide information that leads to the arrest of criminals. Boiled down into simpler terms, Crime Stoppers is a group of concerned people who gather funds to reward individuals who provide information anonymously to our police agencies so that they can solve unsolved crimes.
How Does Crime Stoppers Work?
Crime Stoppers utilizes a multimedia approach for solving crime. This approach is designed to gather information about unsolved crimes through the cooperation of all local media. Each week, details concerning a fugitive or unsolved crime are publicized to the local television, newspaper and radio stations. This known as the "Crime of the Week" and will result in a reward up to $ 2,000 to the individual who supplied the information needed to solve the crime.
What Type of Organization is Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers?
Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers is a non-profit, tax exempt corporation which was founded in 1986 through the efforts of the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association, Pennsylvania State Police, and citizens of the State. The By-Laws for the organization were adopted in January, 1986.
