To qualify for a reward from Crime Stoppers of Minnesota
Your information about a suspect, felony crime or fugitive must be submitted directly to Crime Stoppers of Minnesota through a phone call to our toll-free phone number, our online web tip form, or by using our mobile P3 TipSubmit App before the suspect referred to has been arrested.
Crime Stoppers of Minnesota offers a reward of up to $1,000 only for information that leads to an arrest in a felony case, or that leads to the capture of a wanted fugitive by anybody that is not involved in the crime associated with the tip. Our payment of a reward is not limited to cases highlighted on our website or reported in the media but any arrest that meets the above criteria.
The actual amount of the reward paid is based on factors reported to us by the arresting authority such as but not only the usefulness of the tip; level of crime; amount of drugs or stolen property recovered; responsiveness of the tipster; that are consistently evaluated and applied by the Board of Directors of Crime Stoppers of Minnesota.
Crime Stoppers of Minnesota is not responsible for how our offer of a reward is re-stated or re-worded by other third parties such as newspapers, law enforcement or media. The only reward offer we will honor is specified on this website.
Notification that a reward is payable to the tipster will be made confidentially by Crime Stoppers to the tipster after we receive information from the arresting authority and after the Board of Directors makes its reward determination.
A reward authorized for payment will remain available for collection for 90 calendar days from the date we provide the tipster notification of that payment being available. After that 90 day period if not collected, our payment offer will expire. Uncollected money will then be returned to the Crime Stoppers of Minnesota reward fund for future rewards.
Additional reward amounts offered by a third-party to make the reward larger than the UP TO $1,000 offer by Crime Stoppers of Minnesota are only valid when a written agreement is in place between that third party and Crime Stoppers of Minnesota and its terms are met and in force. Such reward offers will be calculated using the same evaluation criteria unless specifically stated otherwise in that specific reward offer.
Crime Stoppers of Minnesota does not control additional reward amounts nor how long those rewards will be honored. Such rewards can have expiration dates and specific rules.
After the 90 day reward collection period has expired, no reward amount will be paid to the tipster.
