Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization. The first Crime Stoppers program began in September 1976 in Albuquerque, New Mexico and has since spread to include over 1,000 cities and 13 countries worldwide. The mission of Crime Stoppers is to work with law enforcement and the media to help make our communities a safer place in which to live. Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers (originally named San Jose Crime Stoppers) was formed in September 1982 and is made up of a board of volunteers.
On August 17, 2000, San Jose Crime Stoppers changed their name to Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers to better reflect the newly expanded program and partnership with all of the law enforcement agencies in Santa Clara County, as well as the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office, California Highway Patrol and the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department.
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors oversees the program and is responsible for fundraising and approving reward payments. The Board of Directors is a non-paid volunteer board made up of concerned citizens who are dedicated to the mission of Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers.
