About our Program

This Crime Stoppers Program began in 1985 through the efforts of  the  Mayor,  City Commissioners and the Jackson Police Department. The Program operates as an independant organization now encompasses the cities and comunnities within the five-county area of Hinds, Copiah, Madison, Rankin and Warren Counties. The concept has developed into a combination of efforts by local media, businesses, civic and social clubs, law enforcement agencies, and the public. Donations of airtime, newspaper space, and reward monies have established Crime Stoppers as an effective tool to fight crime in the area. 

Mission Statement

The Crime Stoppers Board  is comprised of diverse, active and dedicated community representatives from each of the five-member counties. These individuals volunteer their time and efforts in order for  Crime Stoppers to  provide a resource  for local law enforcement to receive information on crimes that might otherwise go unreported due to the fear of reprisal or apathy on the part of citiziens. These efforts increase tips, which in turn increase arrests in our communities.
