Pikes Peak Area Crime Stoppers has launched a new support program to help raise awareness about the organization.
“We’ve been around for a while,” said Chairman Don Addy. “But there’s a lack of awareness in the community about who we are, what we do, and how we do it.”
The anti-crime nonprofit is offering a decal — which reads “We support Crime Stoppers” with the phone number for the tip line — to businesses and people in exchange for a $50 annual donation.
The revenue generated by the new program will go toward increased reward payments, Addy said.
Addy, who assumed leadership of the program in December, hopes heightened awareness and increased rewards will lead to more tips.
