How does Waterbury Crime Stoppers work?
A special telephone with a well publicized number is provided to the community. (WCS does not subscribe to the caller ID telephone feature)
When a call is received, a fact sheet is filled out. The date, time
and detailed information from the caller is included. The call taker then assigns the caller a code number. This number is used in subsequent calls to Crime Stoppers and if and when any reward is paid to the caller. All callers remain anonymous, with no pressure
to reveal their identity and still collect their reward.

If a caller’s information results in the arrest of an offender or
the apprehension of a wanted person,
arrangements are made so that the person can receive their reward in CASH and preserve his or her anonymity. The Waterbury Crime Stoppers Board of Directors approves the reward
amount to be paid. The determination
of the reward is based on information presented by the Waterbury Police Department liaison. The Board of Directors
does not know who called in the information - only the facts of the case and the caller’s WCS code number.
