Crime Stoppers

Since its inception in 1991, the Thurston County Crime Stoppers program has resulted in 905 arrests, $1.8 million in recovered stolen property, and $6.8 million in seized narcotics.  Local community members that have anonymously reported the crimes have received more than $160,000 in reward payments. 

Crime Stoppers pays up to $1,000 for information leading to arrests made in connection with stolen property, wanted persons, illegal drugs and other serious crimes.

How does it work?

1. Use the anonymous online form or call 1-800-222-TIPS to anonymously report a crime that has been, or is about to be, committed. Collect calls are accepted. During your call or online session, you will be assigned a secret code that protects your identity.
2. Wait one week and call 1-800-222-TIPS. Using your secret code, anonymously check the status of your tip.
3. Once an arrest is made, your reward will be authorized. Go to a participating bank, provide your secret code, and receive a cash reward, no questions asked!

Crime Stoppers is a non-profit corporation sponsored by local civic, professional and social organizations, businesses, and individual citizens.  Rewards are funded by tax deductible donations. For more information, visit www.crimebusters.org or call 1-800-222-TIPS.
