The Orange County Crime Stoppers program (OC Crime Stoppers) helps resolve, reduce and prevent crime by enabling citizens to safely report criminal activity to law enforcement through anonymous crime tips. OC Crime Stoppers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that works in partnership with the community, the media and law enforcement to facilitate the sharing of valuable tips that will hopefully reverse cold cases and all unresolved crimes to help create a safer community.
OC Crime Stoppers provides the Orange County area with the tools to empower ordinary citizens to fight crime. Citizens can report crime anonymously via web, text and/or toll free number. Every web and text tip is assigned its own encrypted code. It is a tipster’s choice on whether they choose to respond to any further questions and they can “delete thread” at any time. There is no way to obtain identifying information through this code.
The Los Alamitos Police Department is a supporter of this program and believes it can be an important tool to assist investigators identify and prosecute criminal offenders.
