What is Crime Stoppers? CRIME STOPPERS is a program that involves the public, the media and the police in a fight against crime.

The program offers anonymity and cash rewards to persons who furnish information leading to the arrest of offenders and the capture of fugitives.

Citizens of any age who may have information concerning a crime can call our Toll-Free Crime Stopper TIP LINE at 1-866-892-7463. When you place the call, it is received on a private non-recorded phone line in the dispatch center at the Sheriff's Department. The dispatcher will log the time, date and brief summary of the caller's information. The caller is given a secret code number which is used in any subsequent transactions.

Callers may remain anonymous, with no pressure to reveal their identity. If the caller's information results in the arrest of a criminal apprehension of a fugitive, arrangements are then made so the person can receive the reward in CASH and preserve their anonymity.

Nationally, CRIME STOPPERS cases have a 97% conviction rate.
Wisconsin CRIME STOPPER Organization has recovered nearly $6 Million in Drugs and Property. The program works for you!
