Without Crime Stoppers?

• The crime rate would be dangerously high.
• Hundreds of dangerous fugitives would remain on our streets and in our neighborhoods.
• Thousands of crimes would remain unsolved.
• Citizens would not contact authorities regarding crimes for fear of retaliation.
• Streets, neighborhoods and parks would not be safe for you and your family.

Since it began in 1982, Crime Stoppers has received over 106,000 tips resulting in nearly 9,300 arrests and the clearing of more than 22,000 cases.

Without MCSP?

Without SAFE?

• Families of fallen public safety officers, fire fighters and emergency services personnel would endure the financial burden of their loss without assistance.
• Public safety officers, fire fighters and emergency services personnel would not have publicized backing from the communities they protect and serve.

Since its 2003 inception, SAFE has unfortunately been called upon four times for assistance to families of a loved one who lost their life while in the line of duty. With continued growth, SAFE plans to someday provide scholarships and other forms of assistance to those in the field of public safety.
