How it Works
Frequently asked questions
Ellis County Crime Stoppers is a community-focused organization that helps local law enforcement solve crimes by providing a confidential platform for anonymous tips. Operating independently of tax dollars, they are funded through donations, grants, probation fees, and fundraising efforts.
Tipsters can submit information via a hotline, mobile app, or online form, and are assigned a unique Tip ID and password to ensure complete anonymity. Submitted tips are reviewed by law enforcement, and tipsters can track the status of their information while remaining confidential.
The organization also offers monetary rewards for tips that lead to arrests or case resolutions and promotes public safety through features like “Crime of the Week” and updates on unsolved cases.
