About Us
About our Program
Taos County Crime Stoppers board of directors is comprised of dedicated community representatives. Our program offers anonymous methods for the public to report information regarding unsolved crimes and fugitives. It is the public, police and private sector working together for a safer Taos County.
Structure and Funding of Crime Stoppers
Taos County Crime Stoppers (TCCS) is organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (charity). A community board of directors provides oversight as to the financial and promotional activities of the program. TCCS is funded by private donations. NO TAX DOLLARS are involved. Any reward money paid out by the program comes from tax deductible donations by concerned citizens and businesses.
TCCS board of directors meets on a monthly basis to administer the program, evaluate arrests and to decide on the size of rewards to be paid, up to $1,000. Rewards are then distributed in a private manner to anonymous tipsters. Many callers choose not to collect their reward.
