C​rime Stoppers
Mi​ami-Dade & The Florida Keys
We Don't ​Gos​sip... It's The Law.
Tipster anonymity is not just a Crime Stoppers' pledge -- it is in our state laws.
In Florida, a person, including Crime Stoppers staff or law enforcement officers, may commit a crime if that person intentionally or knowingly shares the identity of a Crime Stoppers Tipster. Any unauthorized individual may face criminal charges by asking Crime Stoppers staff or law enforcement for tip information. This law was created to show our commitment to the need for privacy. We are serious about the Tipster's anonymity.
Crime Stoppers only pays out rewards to anonymous tipsters to ensure a tipster's identity is never known. Tipsters who identify themselves to Crime Stoppers' staff or law enforcement are not eligible for payment by state rules and our operating procedures.

It isn't enough to wish away the bad,
