Hi I’m Officer Matt Goulet, Crime Stoppers Coordinator for Sangamon and Menard Counties.

This week as the sun is staying up longer Crime Stoppers would like to share some reminders. Be sure your vehicles are locked up at night even if in a garage. Bring valuables inside or place them in the trunk. Close garage doors and lock all doors to the house especially house to garage entry ways. Utilize motion lights and porch lights during hours of darkness.  Arm house alarms and secure all windows and doors. If you have any information about crime, you can stay completely anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 788-8427, or you can leave a tip on this website cashfortips.us. You can also text us by typing TIP672 then your information and send it to crimes. If an arrest is made based on your tip, you will receive a cash reward up to 2500 dollars. Remember Crime Stoppers only wants your information, never your name.
