New Crime Stoppers Group Wants Your Tips

V1 Staff |

You don’t need to be a superhero or a police officer to stop crime: Anonymous tips can make sure the bad guys get what they’ve got coming, and now making these tips is easier than ever. Eau Claire Crime Stoppers, a brand-new nonprofit organization, is here to help community members anonymously report crimes to law enforcement agencies. Tipsters can offer information via phone or online, and their anonymity is protected, even if a reward involved. In the past 40 years, Crime Stoppers USA, the group’s parent organization, has helped law enforcement agencies clear nearly 1 million cases and has helped recover more than $1.1 billion worth of property for victims. Got a tip about a crime? You can do it by calling (715) 874-TIPS (8477), by visiting eauclairecountycrimestoppers.org, or via the P3 Tips mobile app.
