What Is 78-CRIME?

78-CRIME is a community program designed to bring law enforcement, the news media and citizens together to combat crime and make our community a safer place to live.

STEP 1: Call

If you have information concerning a crime call 78-CRIME

  • Your call is not recorded.
  • Your call is not traced.
  • We want your information…not your name.

STEP 2: Arrest

If your information leads to the arrest of the suspect...

STEP 3: Cash

...you could receive a cash reward of up to $1000!

How Do You Get Rewards?

Silver cell phone.When you call 78-CRIME, you are given a confidential code number for the information you provide. If your information helps get a suspect arrested and charged, you must use the same code number to collect a cash reward.

Call Back to Check the Progress of the Case

To claim a reward, you call back and check the progress of the case. We tell callers to check back about 3-4 weeks after the first call, unless they know of an actual arrest.

Call 373-4732 on Monday-Friday from 9 AM – 4 PM to check the case status and confirm reward eligibility.

Don't forget the code you were given when you originally called 78-CRIME.
