Whiteside County Sheriff John F. Booker today reminded the public how important Crime Stoppers is to solving crimes and keeping our community safe.
Crime Stoppers is a vital program that allows citizens to provide anonymous tips about criminal activity. Many cases have been solved thanks to community members who came forward through Crime Stoppers – helping to recover stolen property, apprehend wanted individuals, and stop ongoing crimes.
“Every tip can make a difference,” Sheriff Booker said. “Even small pieces of information can help our investigators put together the bigger picture and solve cases that might otherwise go cold. Thanks to our community and their partnership through Crime Stoppers, we’ve been able to close cases faster and keep our neighborhoods safer.”
Anyone with information about a crime in Whiteside County is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 815-625-7867. Callers can remain completely anonymous and may be eligible for a cash reward if their tip leads to an arrest.
“By picking up the phone, you can help make a real difference without ever giving your name,‘ Sheriff Booker added. “We rely on you, the eyes and ears of our community, to help us protect what matters most.”
To report a tip, call Whiteside County Crime Stoppers at 815-625-7867 anytime, day or night.
