Crime Stoppers is a community funded organization that provides a mechanism for anyone who wants to report information about a crime, location of stolen property, location of wanted persons, and location of illegal drugs. And here's the best part: 

YOU WILL REMAIN ANONYMOUS!!!!!

EasTex Crime Stoppers is a non profit organization. We do not receive any money from any of the Police or Sheriff's Departments .  We receive money from our 10 County Probation Departments.  When a person is convicted and placed on probation they are required to pay a fee to the Probation Department.  A portion of that fee is earmarked for Crime Stoppers and is sent to us to pay rewards.  We can only use Probation Fee money to pay rewards.  

All of our operating funds come from donations and fundraising.  100% of the donations are used for the operation of EasTex Crime Stoppers.  Crime Stoppers can continue to be successful in our community with the help of citizens who call in with information and who generously support it with tax deductible donations.

If you would like to make a tax deductible donation to Crime Stoppers, please call our Executive Director, Danny Mallet or send it to the address listed below.

If you would like someone to come out and speak to your group or organization about our Program please contact us.

How does Crime Stoppers Work?

1. Call the Crime Stoppers Hotline at 409-724-TIPS (8477) or you can submit a tip online via our secure website.  

2. Give the information about any criminal activity. You will be asked some questions, but you will NOT be asked for your name.

3. You will be given a code number and instructions on how to call back to find out the progress on your tip. Your code number is your only link to the Crime Stoppers Line.

4. It is your responsibility to remember and protect your code number!

5. If the information you provide is valid and helps solve a crime, you will be eligible to collect a Cash Reward.  It is your responsibility to check back with us as that is the only way we will be able to notify you if you will receive a reward. The amount of the reward and where to go and pick up the cash will be explained to you when you call to follow-up on your tip.

How it all began:

The idea for Crime Stoppers came in 1976 when Greg MacAleese, an Albuquerque, New Mexico Police Officer, read about a group called "Crime Stoppers" in the popular Dick Tracey comic strip. The comic strip version of Crime Stoppers was a group of Junior G-Men, who helped the fictional character solve crimes. MacAleese received permission of the late artist Chester Gould to use the name Crime Stoppers, and one of the most successful citizen-law enforcement groups was started. 

Today, there are more that 850 Crime Stoppers organizations in all 50 United States, as well as in Puerto Rico and Guam, and the foreign countries of Mexico, Canada, Great Britain, Australia and elsewhere. The work of Crime Stoppers has been cited by law enforcement agencies of all levels as a major deterrent to criminal activities, and a positive force in making communities a safer place in which to live.
