"Everything you need to know about tips, rewards, and payouts. CrimeStoppers 215stop Alabama," is a podcast episode from the CrimeStoppers 215stop Alabama channel featuring host Jerome Jones and Executive Director Tony Garrett.
The discussion focuses on the CrimeStoppers process, emphasizing anonymity and the reward system for tips that lead to an arrest or solving a crime.
Key topics covered in the video include:
Reward Amounts
Rewards top out at $5,000 [01:17].
For a murder or homicide, the minimum reward is automatically $1,000 from CrimeStoppers, which can be increased by city and county partners [01:51].
Payout Process
Law enforcement investigators determine which tips are used and eligible for a reward [02:15].
Rewards are paid out within 30 days of the monthly board of directors meeting [09:19].
Submitting Anonymous Tips
Call 215-STOP (7867). A real, live person is available to take calls 24/7 [03:08]. Staff members are often retired law enforcement or news reporters who can ask necessary follow-up questions [04:11].
Text-to-Tip by texting 215STOP to 738-477 [04:45].
Use the free P3 Tips App [05:38].
Protecting Anonymity
The identity of a tipster has never been revealed since the program's creation in May 1997 [06:34].
Tip information is "cleaned" by staff to remove any identifying details before it is sent to investigators [06:23].
The Importance of the Tip ID
Tipsters must keep their unique Tip ID and password (generated when the tip is submitted) as this is the only way to identify their information and claim a reward [07:50].
