About
Crime Stoppers of Minnesota is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1979 that operates separate and independent from Law Enforcement. They collect information about crimes that may have not otherwise be available to authorities in such a way that the person providing the information remains anonymous. No matter how minor in importance or incomplete the information you have may seem, it could fit with other information that the investigator has, solve a crime, make an arrest, or help an investigation.
How It Works
When reporting to Crime Stoppers, your contact with them is anonymous and you can report on crimes or fugitives you have knowledge about. You may be eligible to receive a reward of up to $1,000 for reporting. View their website here to find out more information regarding the $1,000 reward.How To Report
