PARTNERSHIP
Crime Stoppers does not use any government or tax dollars for solving crimes. Crime Stoppers is a partnership between the Public, News Media and Law Enforcement, with the goal of “Working together to Solve Crime”
MEDIA
The role of the media in the partnership is to publicize unsolved crimes, advertise designated TIP numbers and help the program gain exposure. Guam media partners have been extremely supportive of Crime Stoppers.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
The main function of Law Enforcement in the Crime Stoppers is investigating the TIPS information. The investigators also update the organization regarding the status of a case, such as the number of arrest or recovered narcotics and stolen property. Law enforcement officers can act as advisors to the board as well; however, they are not voting members of the Crime Stoppers Board.
PUBLIC
Citizens are responsible for forming a Crime Stoppers non-profit corporation, whose directors establish policy, determine the amount and method of reward, work closely with law enforcement & media, and generally oversee the program. The directors are also responsible for fund raising. Directors serve on the board as volunteers.
