How it Works

CRIME STOPPERS is NOT a substitute for calling 911.
The Crime Stoppers system is NOT constantly monitored and is
NOT intended for real-time dispatching of

Structure and Funding of Crime Stoppers

Crime Stopper of Beaufort County is a 501(C)3 non-profit organization (Charity). A volunteer civilian community Board of Directors provides direction as to the financial and promotional activities of the program. The Board of Directors enhances the community involvement aspect, and its function is vital to the program's success.

The Crime Stoppers of Beaufort County program is funded by private donations and fund raising. NO TAX DOLLARS are involved. The reward money paid out by the program is from the fund raising and donations from concerned citizens and businesses. You can make a tax-deductible donation by going to the Support Us page. 

A community Board of Directors, made up of persons from throughout Beaufort County, meets on a monthly basis to evaluate arrests and to determine the proper reward amounts to be paid. Rewards are then distributed in a private manner to the tipsters using the unique Tip ID & Password provided. Tipsters are eligible for rewards up to $1,000 when their tip leads to an arrest.

Does Crime Stoppers Work?
 
The answer is quite simply yes. Since the start of Crime Stoppers, many calls have been received resulting in numerous arrests and recovery of substantial amounts of property. Calls have included information about murder, robbery, rape, assaults, drug and firearm offenses.

The success of a Crime Stoppers program cannot be purely judged on statistics; however, other benefits have been noticed:
  • A greater awareness in the community that there is a crime problem.
  • A willingness by the community to fight back against crime if it is given the opportunity and motivation.
  • Improved relationships between police, media, and the community.
Crime Stoppers is definitely here to stay. It has been accepted by police as a valid and effective investigative tool. The public, through its overwhelming response, appears to have accepted it as a more palatable alternative to traditional methods of giving information.
