CAMPUS
CRIME STOPPERS
Campus Crime Stoppers
provides students with a safe, informal, and anonymous system
to give information about criminal activity, threats, or weapons,
without fear of retaliation. If you have information about a
crime committed at your school, or about threats of a crime,
call the Taos County Crime Stoppers at 758-HALT.
How Does It Work?
If you are a student,
parent, teacher or other school staff member, you can call with
information about crimes in and around your school. No one will
ask for your name, just for your information.
What Sort Of Crimes
Should I Call About?
Anything! We are interested
in any crime that happens in and around your school.
Drugs, drinking, graffiti, vandalism, burglary, weapons, and
gang activity are all crimes that affect your safety and ability
to learn. We are also interested in threats of violence, even
if they are only rumors. Information you provide us can help
make your school
a better place.
What Happens To The
Information I Give To Crime Stoppers?
When you call our Tipline,
the information you provide is given to a police officer for
investigation.
What Happens If The
Information I Give Is Wrong?
Can someone go to jail
because of me?
No. The information will be used as part of an investigation.
No one is ever arrested based only on tip information.
Do I Get A Reward?
If a crime is solved,
if a criminal is arrested, or if a weapon is confiscated because
of a tip you gave to Taos County Crime Stoppers, you are eligible
for a reward.
How Much Is The Reward?
Rewards range from $10
to $1,000. The Taos County Crime Stoppers Board meets every month
to decide the amount paid for each successful tip.
If I Don’t Give
My Name, How Do I Collect My Reward?
Every person who calls
the Tipline is given a code number. If your tip leads to an arrest,
confiscation of a weapon, or the solution of a crime, you will
receive a reward. When you call Taos County Crime Stoppers and
give your code number you will be told how to collect your reward
– without ever giving your name!
If you or someone
you know is in danger and in immediate need of help, call 911
and then call
Taos County Crime Stoppers at 758-HALT. |
