About

We provide a platform that allows a person who may have information about a crime to anonymously provide the information to the police in exchange for reward money paid by Crime Stoppers.  

We are a 15 seat volunteer Board of Directors that works directly with Cleveland County Sheriff, Shelby Police Department, Kings Mountain Police Department and Boiling Springs Police Department.

We pay up to $1000 for information that leads to an arrest. The actual amount paid is determined by several factors including severity of the offense and the value of the information provided in the eventual solving of the case. Also considered is the number of persons arrested, and/or the value of property stolen or recovered. 

By scanning the QR Code, a tipster can upload video or photographs and can "text" anonymously through the phone app to police. The tipster is never known to the police or to Crime Stoppers and is identified only as a number that the system assigns them. If need be, the police can contact the tipster through the phone app to clarify information and ask questions. 

Once a case is solved, the detective addresses the Crime Stoppers Board to explain the case and discuss all the factors mentioned above. The Board then makes a decision as to the amount of reward money that will be paid to the tipster.

The police detective will then contact the tipster through the phone app to explain how they can collect their reward money. The tipster is always anonymous, all the time!
