How Crime Stoppers Works
Denton County Crime Stoppers is an independent nonprofit that partners with local law enforcement to gather information from the public. All tips are 100% anonymous – no names, no caller ID, no tracking.
When a tip leads to an arrest or case resolution, the tipster may be eligible for a cash reward. Your information could be the missing piece investigators need.
