McAllen Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to assisting in the fight against crime. A 24 hour hotline allows Crime Stoppers to receive anonymous information and pay rewards up to $1000 for information leading to arrest and/or convictions.

The goal of Crime Stoppers is to make McAllen safer for all it's residents and visitors.

Crime Stoppers is based on the principal that someone other than the criminal has information that can solve a crime. The program was created to combat the three major problems faced by law enforcement in generating that information:
>> Fear of REPRISAL
>> An attitude of APATHY
>> Reluctance to get INVOLVED

Crime Stoppers resolves these problems by:
>> Offering ANONYMITY to people who provide information about crimes.
>> Paying REWARDS when the information supplied leads to arrest.
