We normally pay rewards within 30 days of being notified from our Law Enforcement partners of an arrest, but sometimes information gets delayed and we aren’t notified until after court dates,” advised CrimeStoppers Director Tony Garrett. We are urging tipsters to use our new app (P3tips). The app allows CrimeStoppers to notify a tipster when a reward has been authorized for their information. The tipster remains anonymous through the app.

If the tipster wish to claim the cash reward, please call 215-STOP between 9:00 – 3:00 am during the workweek. Due to numerous tips received, the tipster must have the code that was originally given that connects them to the tip.
