About Us

Copperas Cove Crime Stoppers was founded on July 1, 1984 and closely follows the set guidelines and procedures established in the original program from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Crime Stoppers is administered by a volunteer, civilian board of directors who work with the local Police Department, the media, and the community to reduce crime and convict criminals.

The Copperas Cove Crime Stoppers is a program used to offer an alternative route for citizens to report information they have on a crime which has been committed, and it allows them to remain anonymous in doing so.

Our civilian Board of Directors manages the day to day operations of Crime Stoppers and provides funds which allows the program to offer rewards of up to $1,000 for information which leads to the arrest and indictment of persons on felony cases.

The purpose of the Board of Directors is to advise, govern, oversee policy and direction, and assist with the leadership and general promotion of the Copperas Cove Crime Stoppers.  This includes supporting the organization’s mission and needs.

Members of the board share the responsibilities while acting in the best interest of Copperas Cove Crime Stoppers.  Each member is expected to make recommendations based on his or her experience and vantage points in the community.
