Crime Stoppers & Your Community
Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama is proud to be a community partner working to make our communities safer. With the business community, law enforcement, and our citizens we can all work together as one to improve the quality of life for us all.Make a Difference
Since the start of Crime Stoppers, anonymous tips have led to thousands of arrests and substantial recovery of property. We’ve received information on all sorts of crimes: murder, rape, robbery, assault, drug and firearm offenses. Crime Stoppers has paid out more than $1.1 million in rewards for information, and more than 3,000 arrests have resulted from anonymous tips. It’s simple: Make a call. Make a difference.How it works
There are 3 ways to submit a tip: phone call, online or through the mobile app.
The Reward
Getting a reward is simple and quick. If the tip assists law enforcement in the issuance of a felony warrant, the making of a felony arrest or the solving of a felony case, the tipster will get a cash reward; rewards are approved weekly by the board. Additionally, the tipster will never have to be interviewed by law enforcement, never have to testify and will never have to confront the criminal.
the online webtip
The online tip is an efficient method of communicating with Crime Stoppers safely and securely. Tips can be submitted through the website or through the P3 app, and the integrated two-way dialogue capabilities of the online form allow for the Crime Stoppers representative and the tipster to exchange information and updates, all the while communicating through the secure and encrypted interface.
MAKE A call
Calls are received directly through the local Crime Stoppers phone line. Our phones do not have caller ID, and conversations are not recorded. The Crime Stoppers representative that answers the phone completes the tips information form, makes initial inquiries, and then passes the information to the investigating officer.
