January Is Crime Stoppers Month

The theme of this year's Crime Stoppers Month is "Caring for your Community" and the benefit Crime Stoppers has in protecting people from crime while keeping our streets safe.

Caring for your community is as simple as supporting Crime Stoppers. Do your part to keep your streets safe and show you are a caring citizen. If you know someone involved in criminal activity, call Crime Stoppers. Your tip may be the missing piece of a puzzle that police need to solve a crime.

Radio station WDRV 97.1 FM (The Drive) is broadcasting a public service announcement to show their support of the DuPage Crime Stoppers program. Listen for it on the radio or while on line.

You can show your support of this not for profit community crime fighting organization with a donation to the reward fund. Crime Stoppers pays up to $1000 for information leading to an arrest. We are doing our part to put criminals behind bars, but we can't do it alone. Please contribute to DuPage County Crime Stoppers program to make sure money is available for rewards. Caring for your community is giving support to Crime Stoppers. See the Crime Stoppers web site for stats and how to donate.

Dumb Criminal Acts

Seems the would be robber wanted some beer. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. Seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass. The whole event was caught on videotape.

Online Tip Capability

The DuPage County Crime Stoppers can now accept tips via the internet, through a 28 bit encrypted server provided by Crime Stoppers Online. Check us out and submit a tip.
