Chaffee County Crime Stoppers in Central Colorado

Chaffee County Crime Stoppers

Chaffee County Crime Stoppers collects information on unsolved crimes and individuals wanted by law enforcement. If you provide information that leads to an arrest, you could get a cash reward of up to $1000, and you remain completely anonymous!

Fear and apathy are the two biggest issues that prevent community members from assisting law officers in the fight against crime. By guaranteeing anonymity and offering cash rewards, Crime Stoppers addresses these issues and encourages members of the community to become more involved.

The Crime Stoppers program has enjoyed great success, boasting an average conviction rate of higher than 90% on cases solved by Crime Stoppers' tips. Crime Stoppers programs worldwide have solved over a half a million crimes and recovered over three billion dollars worth of stolen property and narcotics.

Three essential elements make up a Crime Stopper program.

THE COMMUNITY

Citizens are responsible for forming a Crime Stoppers non-profit corporation, whose board of directors establish policy, determine amount and method of reward payments, work closely with the police and the media and generally oversee the program. The directors are also responsible for fundraising and recruiting volunteers. No tax dollars are used or sought.

THE MEDIA

Crime Stoppers methods, objectives, successes and phone numbers are publicized on a regular basis by the media. An unsolved crime is given special treatment with details published in newspapers, on radio and, in certain cases, television re-enactments.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

A special Crime Stoppers phone with a well-publicized number is provided to the community. Callers are assigned a special Code number and NEVER give their names. If, after the investigation, the information leads to an arrest, the caller is entitled to a reward.

If you have information on a crime and would like to report it to Crime Stoppers, call the Chaffee County Crime Stoppers hotline at (719) 539-5299. Remember you can remain anonymous and could be entitled to a cash reward.
