What is Crime Stoppers?

Troup County Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization operated by a Board of Directors made up of citizens with a wide variety of backgrounds, but like you, they share one thing in common: they want to live in a community that's as safe and secure as possible. That's why they're donating their time and effort in the fight against crime.

How Does Crime Stoppers Work?

Troup County Crime Stoppers provides a way for you to report a crime without ever giving your name and with no caller-I.D. Trained operators answer the tips line (1-706-812-1000) 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, taking completely anonymous tips on any criminal activity. (If you witness a crime in progress, you should call 911).
