Crime Stoppers is a nonprofit organization that promotes a partnership between the media, law enforcement and the community. Big Bend Crime Stoppers covers all six counties of the Big Bend: Franklin, Gadsden, Jefferson, Liberty, Leon, and Wakulla.

Anyone with information about a crime can call Crime Stoppers at 574-TIPS (8477) or toll free at 1-888-876-TIPS (8477). These calls are not recorded and we do not use Caller ID. When information is given, the caller receives a code number to keep their identity anonymous. If an arrest is made based on information provided by the caller, the caller is eligible for a reward. The board of directors, made up of citizens, votes on the reward amount at the monthly board meeting . The caller goes to the drive-thru of a designated bank and provides the teller the code number. The teller then sends out cash. WE NEVER KNOW THE IDENTITY OF THE CALLER
