Ventura County Crime Stoppers encourages members of the community to assist local law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime by overcoming the two key elements that inhibit community involvement: fear and apathy.  Seldom are crimes solved without information from members of the Community who have witnessed a crime or have information to share with Law Enforcement. 

Crime Stoppers provides a telephone number, TipSoft WebTips and TipSoft SMS (texting)  to encourage citizens in the community to volunteer vital information helpful to law enforcement agencies to fight against crime.

Callers can remain anonymous and are eligible to receive a cash reward if the information given leads to an arrest or grand jury indictment of a felony offender.

Crime Stoppers relies on volunteer Directors and tax deductible contributions from the public in order to administer the program and to provide funds for payment of Tips.
