ALWAYS  100%  ANONYMOUS

                 "WHAT YOU SEE,  WHAT YOU  HEAR, WHAT YOU KNOW .... CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!"

Hernando County Crime Stoppers was established in 2005 and is part of a world-wide organization.  Operating under the Office of the Attorney General, this community-based non-profit program promotes increased cooperative efforts between citizens, law enforcement and the media.   An all-volunteer board made up of residents and business persons oversees the local program of promoting citizen awareness, considering tips that have resulted in or contributed to an arrest/arrests, and approves the rewards.  Citizen involvement is quite simply Law Enforcement's greatest asset.  Everyone benefits from a Tipster's awareness and willingness to provide what could be a vital bit of information needed to prevent or solve a crime.  The Hernando County Crime Stoppers program, following the footprint of the first case in 1976 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, continues to work to motivate citizens by offering rewards, to guarantee a Tipster is always 100% anonymous, and thus ensuring the success and protecting the integrity of the Crime Stoppers program.
