The Stafford County Crime Solvers is a community program geared toward public involvement in the fight against crime.

Each week, an unsolved crime is selected as the crime of the week. The facts are broadcast on television and radio and printed in various newspapers.

It offers cash rewards up to $1,000.00, and anonymity to citizens who provide information that results in the arrest or resolution of an unsolved crime. 

Most of the information received by Crime Solvers is via the telephone.  The  easy to remember phone number is 540-659-2020.   This number is answered 24 hours a day.

Each week an unsolved crime is selected as the Crime of the Week.   The facts are broadcast on television and radio and printed in various newspapers.

When a call is received by Crime Solvers, a fact sheet is filled out.  The date, time and a brief summary of the caller's information is included.  The call taker assigns the caller a number.  This number is used in subsequent calls to Crime Solvers, and if and when any reward is paid to the caller.  If the caller gives their name and phone number, that information is also logged, but it is kept strictly confidential.  (All callers may remain anonymous, with no pressure to reveal their identity, and still collect their rewards.)

If a callers information results in the arrest or resolution of an unsolved case, contact with the caller will be made through the media and arrangements made so the person can receive his or her reward in CASH and preserve his or her anonymity.

A Crime Solvers Board of Directors, comprised of citizens of Stafford County, oversees the operation of the program and approves the rewards to be paid.   The determination of rewards is based on information presented by the Sheriff Coordinators.   The Board of Directors do not know who called in the information -- only the facts of the case and the caller's Crime Solvers number.

Crime Solvers is a non-profit organization and is funded entirely through public donations.

Contributions are tax-deductible.

Citizens with information about any crimes are requested to call Crime Solvers.   The caller is assured anonymity by using this method.

YES, Crime Solvers is working and without spending any Tax Payers Dollars.
