What our community is saying about us.
In 2017, we opened the doors to the first-ever Crime Stoppers’ headquarters anywhere in the world – the “Dave Ward Building, Crime Stoppers of Houston”.
Thank you to all who attend and support our events throughout the year!
In 1976, a peace officer in Albuquerque, New Mexico, developed a system under which tipsters in the community would be guaranteed anonymity by state law, and promised cash rewards for information leading to the arrest of major criminal offenders.
As a non-profit organization, we are committed to being good stewards of the funds we raise. We invite you to view our financial reports, annual report and Form 990’s.
