ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Remember when you call Rockford Area Crime Stoppers we never ask your name, our phones don't have caller ID and we do pay cash rewards. The reason we do that is we need your information to help police solve crimes and bring fugitives to justice. Last year, individuals who called Crime Stoppers were paid over 70 thousand dollars for their information. If you have information about the following individuals, give us a call at Crime Stoppers. Susan Miller is wanted for theft. She's 46 years old, 5'7" tall, 195 lbs., with brown hair and blue eyes. Deandre Haywood is wanted for escape and parole violation. He's 20 years old, 6'1", 175 lbs., with black hair and brown eyes. David Ball is wanted for armed robbery. Ball is 48 years old, 5'9", 160 lbs, with blond hair and blue eyes. And Darryl Smith is 32 years old. He's 5'8", 170 lbs., with black hair and brown eyes. He's wanted for armed robbery. If you know the location of one of the people you've just seen or have information on other wanted subjects, or information about unsolved crimes in the Greater Rockford area, please call Crime Stoppers at 963-7867 or toll free at 1-888-769-STOP.

What is Crime Stoppers? The Crime Stoppers Program is managed by the Winnebago County Sheriff's office Crime Stopper Division, which is located in the Public Safety Building. The city of Rockford helps pay part of the operating costs of the Division which is staffed by one full time Deputy who acts as the program coordinator, Richard Gambini, and one full time assistant who is employed by Crime Stoppers. View more information on their website. |
| How does it work? People with information regarding criminal activity and fugitive locations are often reluctant to talk to law enforcement officials because they fear retaliation. The Crime Stoppers Program is designed to protect the identity of callers who are never asked their name when they give information, and we do not use caller ID. The caller is assigned a code number, which is used on the information file, and the referral sheet is forwarded to the appropriate agency for the follow up investigation. Callers also use their code to check on the status of the case, add information to the case, report other criminal activity, and to collect their reward. Crime Stoppers pays a cash reward up to $1,000.00 when an arrest is made or a crime is solved as a result of the caller's information. The amount of payment to the Crime Stopper caller is determined by the program coordinator and the Crime Stoppers Board of Directors who meet twice monthly to set the rewards. |
| $1000 REWARD
Callers with information about crimes can call the special Crime Stoppers phone numbers and anonymously give Crime Stoppers information. Each Caller is assigned a number, and if the tip results in an arrest, a reward will be paid. Rewards of up to $1000 will be presented for information that leads to an arrest. Crime Stoppers never asks your name. We do not have Caller ID. Paydates are twice a month.
QUICK 50 Students attending any school in Winnebago County can call the Crime Stoppers numbers and report any crime that has happened on school property involving students. Call to report any student bringing weapons, drugs or alcohol to school. If the information provided results in an arrest, a suspension or both, the caller will receive a reward of up to $50.
