The
Long Beach Police Department has joined
efforts with the newly formed Los Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers
Program, offering local residents the ability to anonymously
report crimes that occur in Long Beach, authorities announced Friday.
The LBPD began collaborating with Crime Stoppers, which was advocated by 6th District Councilman Dee Andrews, to establish a partnership that could give investigators the upper hand in the fight against crime, according to a police department press release.
Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization which works with various law enforcement agencies, the media and the community. Cash rewards, provided by both public and private organizations, are raised to prompt people to provide information, including anonymous tips, that can lead to arrests or criminal filings.
Crime Stoppers' tips can be reported by either calling the toll free number at 800-222-TIPS (8477), by texting "TIPLA" to CRIMES (274637) or via the Web at www.lacrimestoppers.org, all of which are encrypted, scrambled and untraceable systems to ensure the tipster's identity remains anonymous.
Using the Tip ID # issued when information is provided, the tipster is also able to submit follow-up information on the same crime. Tips are then sent on to LA Crime Stoppers for evaluation,and will be forwarded to the Long Beach Police Department for follow-up investigation.
