Central Alabama CrimeStoppers Announces Statistics for 2022
Since 1997, Central Alabama CrimeStoppers has continued its mission to stop, solve, and prevent crime. CrimeStoppers is a nonprofit organization that brings together law enforcement, media, and the community; working together to make local Alabama communities a safer place to work, live, and play.
CrimeStoppers currently serves 79 law enforcement agencies covering 28 counties. CrimeStoppers’ success would not be possible without these outstanding law enforcement partners and support from their local communities.
CrimeStoppers has a tremendous digital media footprint and maintains an official website and has an active Facebook presence that receives millions of views a year. Though these results are impressive, the 250 media contacts CrimeStoppers has, helped reach millions of Alabamians in 2022.

CrimeStoppers gave a cash reward to 16 anonymous tipsters that provided information that assisted with the location and led to the apprehension of those violent fugitives.
