Crime stoppers has seen dramatic success since implementing the web and text tip program. It is an easier way for tipsters to communicate their information. Tipsters go to the website and submit their information. A totally anonymous communication can be performed which results in more cash for the tipster and more arrests. Tipsters can also submit their information "on the go" by using our text tip program and the same two-way anonymous communication can be implemented if needed. Again, this results in more cash for the tipster and more arrests for law enforcement.
