About Crime Stoppers 

Savannah Crime Stoppers originated in 1983 as a nonprofit organization known as Silent Witness and has since become an integral part of the community by providing a trusted, anonymous platform for residents and visitors to report criminal activity and assist law enforcement in keeping the community safe.
 

In 2012, the Savannah–Chatham County Crime Stoppers organization was formally incorporated in the State of Georgia as a nonprofit corporation and remains in good standing today.
 

The organization continues to operate pursuant to mutual agreements between local municipalities and the Crime Stoppers GA Board of Directors, and functions as an affiliate of Crime Stoppers USA while conducting business under the name of Crime Stoppers GA.

HOW CRIME STOPPERS WORKS

Crime Stoppers GA is built on a four-part partnership:

Community

Residents, youth, and visitors anonymously report crime and suspicious activity without fear of being identified.

Media

Traditional and digital media help educate the public about crime prevention, wanted suspects, public safety, and how to submit anonymous tips.

Law Enforcement

Law enforcement agencies investigate the information received, follow up on qualified tips, and work to solve crimes and enhance public safety.

Donors

As an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Crime Stoppers GA relies on donations to fund anonymous tip rewards and public awareness campaigns. Generous support from local businesses, community partners, and individuals provides the foundation for our mission to strengthen the safety infrastructure throughout the communities we serve.

Together, these four partners create a trusted safety infrastructure that helps prevent crime and enhance the safety of our communities.
