What is Crime Stoppers? How Does Crime Stoppers Work? Carbondale Crime Stoppers maintains an easy number to remember, 549-COPS. It is monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by members of the Carbondale and SIUC Police Departments. When you call with information, you will be given a code number known ONLY to you. When you call back to check on the progress of your case, you need only to identify yourself by your code number. If your information results in the arrest of an offender, you become eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000. Or, you can e-mail a tip on the interactive on-line anonymous tip program by clicking on this link: Arrangements will be made so that you can receive your reward in cash and protect your identity. Who Administers Crime Stoppers? The Crime Stoppers program has a Board of Directors made up of concerned citizens who are responsible for establishing policy, raising funds, and paying rewards. The Board meets monthly to vote on rewards to be paid and to discuss matters concerning the operation of Crime Stoppers. If you would like to volunteer to be a Crime Stoppers Board Member, please contact Carbondale Police Officer Randy Mathis at 457-3200, extension 428.
