Brazos County Crime Stoppers, Inc. is a non-profit, community-based partnership formed by dedicated citizens, public schools, law enforcement, and the media who work together toward a common goal: encouraging the public to actively participate in the arrest and conviction of criminals and fugitives and the prevention and reduction of crime in the community and in our schools.

Crime Stoppers empowers community members to play an active role in public safety by providing a safe, anonymous way to share information with law enforcement. We don't investigate crimes or make arrests. We remove barriers to reporting, connect critical information with the agencies equipped to act on it, and help make our community safer.

Brazos County Crime Stoppers provides a 24-hour hotline 979-775-TIPS (8477), a Web site for Web tips (brazoscountycrimestoppers.org), and a free mobile app (P3) to encourage citizens in the community to volunteer vital information helpful to law enforcement agencies to fight against crime. Anyone who sends or calls in a tip will remain anonymous and may receive a reward for a tip that leads to an arrest.
Since our inception in November 1981, our partnership has led to the receipt of almost 23,000 tips, the arrest of 2,991 individuals, and almost $4 million dollars in property and drugs recovered. We have authorized rewards payments of over $500,000 total, across more than 2,100 tipsters. Of the 4,530 fugitives listed in our "Most Wanted" we've resolved approximately 85% of those cases. Moving forward we are anticipating using the funds raised through Brazos Valley Gives, in part, to finance the creation and delivery of crime prevention and awareness programs within our community.
