  Crime Stoppers is a community program that helps stop crime in its tracks. Crime Stoppers gathers clues that law enforcement agencies need to solve major crimes. By offering cash rewards and providing a single number to call with information relating to any crime, Crime Stoppers encourages local citizens to provide clues that can be vital in the solution of a crime. Crime Stoppers programs have been highly successful in reducing the crime rate in many other cities in Canada and the United States.
