Nebraska CrimeStoppers!
CrimeStoppers is a program that is used throughout the United States and and other
countries. It's basic purpose is to
provide a network to allow crime-solving tips from the public to be forwarded
to Law Enforcement authorities. This
network is set up in such a way to allow the caller to remain completely
anonymous, which encourages people to report illegal activity. It also allows for cash rewards to be paid
to citizens who report illegal activity to the Police. This also encourages people to call in
tips.
Nebraska CrimeStoppers started the program in 1989. A board consisting of citizens at large, law
enforcement officers, and members of the media governs it.
When someone calls the
Nebraska CrimeStoppers toll free number (1-800-422-1494) they speak with a
Nebraska State Patrol dispatcher. The
caller is assigned a confidential identity number in order to allow them to
remain completely anonymous. The Information is forwarded to the Nebraska
CrimeStoppers coordinator. The
information is immediately relayed to the to the Wayne Police Department if the information received pertains to a
Wayne criminal investigation.
The Wayne Police
Department and the Nebraska State Patrol encourage the use of this program in
order to promote public safety in our community and across the state. This is a highly successful program all over
the country and many crimes are solved by its use.
Remember; Call 1-800-422-1494 to report
information that could lead to the solving of a crime or the whereabouts of
wanted persons. Remain completely
anonymous and be eligible to collect cash
rewards up to $1,000.00.
