What Is Crimestoppers?

CRIMESTOPPERS is a program which involves the public, the media, and law
enforcement in the fight against crime.  It offers anonymity and cash rewards
to persons who furnish information leading to the arrest and the filing of criminal
charges against crime offenders and the capture of fugitives.

The responsibility for establishing policy and raising funds as well as controlling the amount of reward payments rests with the CRIMESTOPPERS Board of Directors, which is comprised of concerned citizens who oversee the operation of the program. It is a Nonprofit Organization and is funded entirely through donations from the public. Contributions are tax-deductible.

Please call (406) 366-1441 if you are interested in learning more about or participating in Central Montana Crimestoppers and the work they do.

How Does It Work?

When a crime or tip is reported by CRIMESTOPPERS, it is logged with the date, time, and a brief summary of the reporter's information. Reporters are furnished with a secret code number which is used in subsequent transactions.

Reporters may remain anonymous, with no pressure to reveal their identity, and still collect their rewards.

If a reporter's information results in the arrest and the filing of criminal charges against a felony crime offender or the apprehension of a felony fugitive, contact will be made with the reporter and arrangements made so that they can receive their reward in CASH and preserve their anonymity.
