Crime Stoppers of Gilpin/Clear Creek Counties, Inc. is operated as non profit organization and managed by a volunteer board of directors who takes the responsibility of fund raising and paying rewards to individuals who anonymously call with information that helps solve crime.

How does Crime Stoppers work?

There is always someone that has information that can help solve crime. Those are the people who can call Crime Stoppers anonymously and provide a tip that will help investigators identify those responsible.

In any investigation, police and other law enforcement agencies encounter individuals who will not directly provide information. The three key reasons are:

Fear of reprisal

An attitude of apathy

Reluctance to get involved.

Crime Stoppers breaks through these barriers by giving people the opportunity to provide information without directly speaking to police or having to testify in court. Obviously investigators need witnesses to help prove their case in court, but most importantly they need information that allows them to zero in on a suspect or a criminal operation such as a drug trafficking network.

Tips to Crime Stoppers does not give police evidence they require to arrest an individual but puts them on the right track to solve crime.

Cash rewards from Crime Stoppers also motivate some people to call anonymously with information that will be vital to investigators.

 

Crime Stoppers depends solely upon contributions from individuals, businesses, and foundations to operate and distribute the cash awards to witnesses.
