About Crime Stoppers of Michigan

Crime Stoppers of Michigan empowers people to make their neighborhoods, schools and businesses safer through anonymous reporting of crime. The Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line was created for citizens in Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, St. Clair, Monroe, Wayne and Washtenaw counties, who have witnessed or heard about a crime, but are too afraid to call the police out of fear of retaliation. As an incentive, anonymous tipsters can receive a cash reward up to $1,000 if there's an arrest based on their information. Last year, more than 3200 tips were called in, leading to about 750 arrests.

There are three ways to contact the Crime Stoppers tip line:

• Call: 1-800-SPEAK UP
  
• Online: www.1800speakup.org
  
• Text: CSM and your tip to 274637 or CRIMES
  
  
  New TV program! "1-800-SPEAK UP: Unsolved" highlights more than 80 unsolved crimes every Tuesday at 8 p.m. on Detroit and Southfield's Cable Channel 190.
