Crime Stoppers of Michigan

Crime Stoppers’ strength comes from our community being aware of our organization
since they are the source of crucial information for crime solving. To accomplish this,
we promote our services through Public Service Announcements; TV and Radio ads,
social media campaigns in Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram; billboards,
events giveaways, brochures, flyers, posters, cards; and our website among others.

We work closely with 200+ law enforcement agencies at the local, state and federal levels by publicizing information on unsolved cases, by providing valuable crime-solving tools and resources, and, by passing along critical tipster information to the appropriate
law enforcement departments

We provide a voice for crime victims by helping the families with the use of televised press conferences, posters, door hangers, billboards, and social media, to ask for help in solving their loved one’s case. With the help of our media partners, we publicize unsolved crimes and wanted fugitive cases to the public via television, print, radio, and online media, asking that they call 1-800-SPEAK UP with any information that they have. Crime Stoppers of Michigan proudly partners with FOX 2, Channel 7, Channel 4, WWJ Newsradio, Mlive, The Monroe Evening News, The Macomb Daily, The Oakland Press, and others.

Bi-monthly support group meetings offer families of crime victims’ grief support, encouragement, and guidance for healthy coping tools. With help from several partner organizations, Crime Stoppers hosts several special events for these families each year. We held meetings in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne Counties.

Crime Stoppers of Michigan mission to solve and prevent crime in Southeast Michigan is achieved by providing everyday citizens with the tools they need to protect the neighborhoods, schools, and families. Our volunteers and staff visit community meetings
and events monthly, to educate about Crime Stoppers, to empower people to “speak up” against crime in their community, and sharing how each person has the power to make a big difference in their neighborhood. Some of the topics are senior scams prevention, human trafficking, and community safety.

Crime Stoppers works with all Michigan state prisons, in addition to county jails and parole offices within our seven-county service area, to educate and encourage inmates and parolees about calling Crime Stoppers regarding unsolved crimes. Information is
provided through television, signage, and electronic mail kiosks.

Crime Stoppers of Michigan is proud to partner with Community Groups who share our mission of empowering people to make their communities safer. Among our partners are Humane Society, Open Arms, Communities United for Progress.

The goal of Project Safe Campus is to create safe school environments by empowering students to anonymously and safely report youth-related crimes. Students are encouraged to look out for one another by calling Crime Stoppers, with any information regarding trouble brewing at school, within their neighborhoods or on the Internet in exchange for a $100 cash reward. The program provides tools for students to create safe school environments by encouraging them to anonymously and safely report incidents in schools. Also, we encourage them to be socially responsible by reporting behavior that might bring harm to a person and/or the community.

The goal of Project Good Samaritan is to build synergistic relationships between Crime Stoppers of Michigan, faith-based organizations and community partners to collectively empower the communities we serve to combat crime and its consequences, in addition to our firm commitment to the long-term care of crime victims and development of after-care modules to minister to their needs. Religious leaders from more than 240+ faith-based partners are working together to encourage their congregations to speak out with information they have about criminal activity by calling Crime Stoppers.
