This week Crime Stoppers is unveiling a new initiative aimed at tackling the fentanyl crisis, offering a minimum reward of $1,500.00 for information that leads to an arrest of anyone dealing fentanyl.  According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, synthetic opioid-related deaths, primarily driven by fentanyl, have increased exponentially by over 3,000% since 2013.  In 2022, opioid-related deaths surpassed car crash fatalities by a ratio of 2 to 1.  IN Sangamon County, fentanyl was responsible for over 62% of overdose deaths in 2023.  Through collaborative efforts, we are working to eliminate this dangerous drug from our streets and create safer communities.  If you have any information regarding fentanyl or any other crime call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 217-788-8427, submit a tip on this website, or use the P3 app. If your tip results in an arrest you could receive a cash reward up to $2500.  Remember Crime Stoppers only wants your information, not your name.
