Christian County Crimestoppers has been active since 1987, and is a program that involves the community, media and police in the fight against crime. It offers anonymity and cash rewards to persons furnishing information leading to the capture of fugitives.

Crime Stoppers is based on the principle that someone other than the criminal has information that would solve the crime.

Information can be shared confidentially by calling 217-824-9100 or toll-free 800-568-TIPS.
