Sussex County Sheriff´s Crime Stoppers is a program designed to encourage cooperation between citizenry and the law enforcement community. It offers the citizens of Sussex County, New Jersey access to their law enforcement community in the form of anonymity and reward.

Crime Stoppers will pay up to a $1000 reward for information leading to the arrest and indictment (as opposed to conviction) of criminals.

Crime Stoppers is administered by a volunteer civilian Board of Commissioners who oversee the routine business affairs, control finances, and determine reward amounts and methods of payment. Sussex County Sheriff´s Crime Stoppers is a non-profit corporation funded by contributions from the business and private sector at no cost to the taxpayer.

Citizens who have information relating to crimes, criminal activity, or wanted persons can contact us 24 hours a day. This information will be taken by a Sheriff´s officer and forwarded to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

When a person contacts Crime Stoppers, he/she is assigned a confidential code number. At no time will anyone ask the caller's name. After the caller has been given the code number, he/she will be asked to call back at a future date, using the code number for identification. When a person becomes eligible for a reward, the arrangements to receive it are made through the use of the code number. The reward will be paid in cash.
