Since it’s inception in 1989, the NMI Crime Stoppers program has provided tips to law enforcement agencies allowing law enforcement to arrest over 200 criminals. Law enforcement agencies have recovered over $200,000 worth of stolen property and seized over $2,448,000 worth of illegal drugs.
Over 300 individual criminal cases have been cleared. For these results the NMI Crime Stoppers Program has paid out $20,000 in rewards over the years. The program works and that it “is” cost effective. The NMI Crime Stoppers Board of Directors is made of men and women volunteers, whose mandate is to maintain the anonymous tips line and work with the community, media and law enforcement in getting criminals off the streets of the NMI.
“We want to sincerely thank each of these sponsors for committing to make a great difference in our community. In addition we wish to thank our partners in law enforcement, the media, and anonymous callers that provide the tips we need to solve crime in the CNMI,” the Crime Stoppers said.
