Crime Stoppers is a community-based program and registered Charity that brings the public, the media and law enforcement agencies together in cooperative effort to help solve crime. This is accomplished by offering Cash Awards and Guaranteeing Anonymity to persons who furnish information leading to the arrest of or laying of charges against criminal offenders.

Mississippi/Tay Crime Stoppers is funded entirely by tax deductible donations from the private and corporate sectors. Crime Stoppers encourages any individual who has knowledge of any crime to either submit their tips online or call toll free 1-800-222-TIPS (1-800-222-8477) and relay their clues or information. They will not be asked to give their name. Their anonymity is guaranteed and they will not have to testify in court.

If their information provides clues that are vital to the successful solution of a crime, the tipster could earn up to $2,000 as an award. Crime Stoppers has proven to be an effective weapon against crime. At present there are over 700 programs in Canada, the United States and in Europe. In Canada statistics show that for every dollar paid out, over $50 in property and drugs is recovered.
