Crime Stoppers Pays

Crime Stoppers pays. Help make sure that crime doesn’t.

If you know something, say something as law enforcement cannot control crime without the help of the law abiding community. Even the smallest bit of information may be just what law enforcement needs to solve these cases.

Please note that Crime Stoppers technology makes it impossible for anyone to find out who submitted a tip. To learn how we do this, visit www.CrimeStoppersUSVI.org and click on How It Works.
