Crime Stoppers is a service that allows citizens to anonymously report potential criminal activity and or supply information regarding suspects of crimes. Tips that lead to an arrest are subject to a reward of up to $1,000.

How it Works

OC Crime Stoppers allows people to report crime tip information by phone, web, or text. For web and text tips, the system provides the ability to have a two-way SMS dialog through an encrypted code if desired. No IP information can be obtained through this code. The phone call is answered 24/7, on an unrecorded line.

How to Use it

• Via phone call to 855-TIP-OCCS (855-847-6227).
• Via text to CRIMES (274637), in the message body type keyword OCCS, then a space.
