Crime Stoppers is based on the principal that someone other than the criminal has information that can solve a crime and was created to combat the three major problems faced by law enforcement in generating that information:
- Fear of retaliation
- An attitude of apathy
- Reluctance to get involved
- Offering ANONYMITY to people who provide information about crimes.
- Paying REWARDS when the information supplied leads to arrest.
- To promote community welfare & inform/educate the public to further protect them from criminal activity.
- To motivate the public to cooperate with law enforcement agencies.
- To lessen the burden of law enforcement agencies in the apprehension of criminals.
- To help develop a community against crime.
