ENHANCING PUBLIC SAFETY

Crime Stoppers of Greater Fort Wayne is a 501c3 organization that works with 11 counties and multiple agencies within those counties. Crime Stoppers is operated by a board of directors. Crimes Stoppers is funded by donations. The City of Fort Wayne provides the office and supplies for the office as well as the salary for the Coordinator, which is a part time employee.

The goal of Crime Stoppers is to be a link between the public and the law enforcement agencies we work with. This year we celebrated 40 years of service to these communities. This has been a very successful endeavor since it’s inception. 2023 was probably the most successful year thus far, based on the amount of tips, arrests and rewards paid out.
