Central Alabama CrimeStoppers Has Increase in Arrests, Tips and Reward for 2011
See Annual Report
 (January 12, 2012) -- Central Alabama CrimeStoppers, a local
nonprofit organization that assists law enforcement in solving crimes,
recorded 97 arrests, paid $7,975 in reward money, and took in 362 tips
from the community in 2011. That is a 10 percent increase in arrests and
20 percent increase in tips and in rewards paid to anonymous tipsters.
CrimeStoppers credits the increase to more citizen involvement thanks
to programs that allow the public to submit mobile and text tips. A “Tip
Submit” mobile application (app) for iPhone and Droids operating systems
was launched in 2011. The app is the first anonymous and fully featured
smart phone application that lets the public submit tips to help solve
and prevent crime. Users of the free app can submit secure and anonymous
tips to CrimeStoppers programs.
Director of CrimeStoppers, Susan Moss, says another area that has
become more active is the anonymous crime reporting system in local
schools. Students are offered a $100 gift card for information that
leads to the confiscation of weapons and drugs on campus.
Sixteen officers from the Montgomery Police Department and one deputy
from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office were trained to be School
Resource Officers last August. These officers were taught specifically
how to handle school safety and to protect students, faculty, and staff
at the schools they are assigned and to help promote the anonymous crime
reporting system.
The training was paid through grant money and a partnership between
Central Alabama CrimeStoppers, Montgomery Public Schools, and the
Montgomery Police Department. The grant money came from the Department
of Justice Project Safe Neighborhoods and Safe Schools Healthy Schools.
For more information about any of these programs, or other
