About Us
About Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana
Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana was founded in 1985 by the joint efforts of the Indianapolis Police Department and city leaders. Our program now operates as an independent, non-profit organization. The concept has developed into a combination of efforts by local media, businesses, civic and social clubs, law enforcement agencies, and our communities. Donations of media air time, newspaper space, and reward monies have established Crime Stoppers as an effective tool to fight crime in our home, Central Indiana.
Donor Privacy Policy: We will not sell, trade or share a donor's personal information with anyone else, nor send donor mailings on behalf of other organizations.
