CRIME LINE MYTHS
Myth #1:
Crime Line is a Police Program.
The Truth:
Crime Line and Crime Solvers are funded entirely by private donations from concernedcitizens and companies. Volunteer citizen boards administer the program, raise funds and approve rewards.
Myth #2:
"Tipsters" need to testify to collect rewards.
The Truth:
Callers to Crime Line & Crime Solvers need never testify or even be identified to collect rewards. Confidentiality has played a key role in the success of the program.
Myth #3:
Crime Line doesn't pay.
The Truth:
If Crime Line didn't follow through on its promises, it would never have survived. In an average year, Crime Line pays out more than $50,000 in rewards, recovering tens of thousands, sometimes more than a million dollars in drugs & stolen property.
