​How Crime Stoppers Works

Crime Stoppers does not pay rewards to any person who has a legal duty to assist in the arrest of suspects and fugitives.

​Albuquerque Metro Crime Stoppers is a community program that relies on anonymous tips to solve crimes and to locate fugitives. Without anonymity of callers, the program cannot be effective. Crime Stoppers pays rewards only for anonymous tips. Tipsters who identify themselves are not eligible for a reward. Crime Stoppers has sole discretion to decide the amount of any reward to be paid, from zero to $2,500. Crime Stoppers will pay rewards only for tips given directly to it. Any tip given to another source, such as law enforcement, will not be eligible for a Crime Stoppers reward.

What does anonymous mean?
• We will never ask for your name.
• We will not record your call.
• We do not trace phone numbers or tips submitted online.
• You will not have to make a statement to police.
• You will not appear in court.
