This Crime Stoppers phone is a stand-alone instrument which does NOT provide caller ID, and conversations are not recorded. The Crime Stoppers call center receives the information, completes the tips information form, makes initial inquiries and then passes the information to the appropriate law enforcement agency. Calls are accepted regarding any felony criminal activity, wanted subjects, and publicized request for information, such as the Sheriff's Office "Community Alert Bulletins" “MANHUNT MONDAY”, “FUGITIVE FRIDAY” or such other crime(s) the caller has knowledge of. 

By guaranteeing a caller's anonymity, the Crime Stoppers program allows the caller to give information in a positive atmosphere without the prospect of retribution. By offering a cash reward for information leading to indictment or arrest, the program encourages otherwise reluctant callers to provide information.
