Alexander County Crime Stoppers is a 100% volunteer organization. There are no paid members, officers, or administrative fees. 100% of the funds we raise go to assist local law enforcement, and 100% of our funds come from donations and from fund-raising events held periodically by members of the board of directors.
Citizens
of Alexander County and surrounding areas should feel comfortable calling
in tips to Crime Stoppers. Calls are completely anonymous. You never
have to give your name or reveal your identity. When you call in a tip,
you are assigned a random number. If your information proves to be beneficial
to law enforcement in solving a crime and/or making an arrest, the Crime
Stoppers board of directors will approve an award and the caller will
be paid anonymously. We do not require a conviction to approve an award.
We meet once each month with representatives from the Sheriff’s office and Police department to discuss any unsolved crimes that may benefit from tips from the public. We can post a set amount to entice members of the public to come forward with information about crimes they have witnessed, heard about, or have information on. When beneficial tips are received, law enforcement officers recommend a dollar amount to be paid to the informant for their information based on the severity of the crime and the usefulness of the information received. The board then votes on their recommendation. During the last 5 years, we have paid approximately $8,000.00 for information on numerous crimes in our community.
