Milwaukee Crime Stoppers partners with MPD, CBS 58 offering cash to catch criminals

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Milwaukee Crime Stoppers has partnered with the Milwaukee Police Department and CBS 58 to give the community a helpful tool to use against crime. 

Crime Stoppers is an independent nonprofit organization that offers cash rewards up to $1,000 to anyone who gives anonymous information that leads to the arrest of criminals, including those committing serious felony crimes and fugitives. 

The initiative will collect information through an anonymous, secured tip line or secure web connection manned by a professional coordinator.

Alderwoman Lewis said, “Crime Stoppers can serve as a great tool to combat crime in our community and I’m very excited about the launch. Remember, crime doesn’t pay but Crime Stoppers does.”

Milwaukee Alderwoman Chantia Lewis invited the community to attend the first launch of Milwaukee Crime Stoppers on Tuesday, October 15 at City Hall.
