About Us

Savannah Crime Stoppers originated in 1983 as a nonprofit organization known as Silent Witness and has since become an integral part of the community by providing a trusted, anonymous platform for residents and visitors to report criminal activity and assist law enforcement in keeping the community safe.

In 2012, the Savannah–Chatham County Crime Stoppers organization was formally incorporated in the State of Georgia as a nonprofit corporation and remains in good standing today.

The organization continues to operate pursuant to mutual agreements between the City of Savannah, Chatham County, and the Crime Stoppers Board of Directors, and functions as an affiliate of Crime Stoppers USA while conducting business under the name of Crime Stoppers.

Crime Stoppers was organized to serve all residents and visitors of our community through:

  • establishing and maintaining a 24-hour anonymous tip line for citizens of Chatham County to report information about crimes and criminal activity;

  • providing cash rewards to callers whose anonymous tips lead to an arrest, indictment, or otherwise meet outcome guidelines established by the Board of Directors or the requesting law enforcement agency;

  • strictly protect caller anonymity;

  • support law enforcement efforts that improve the overall quality of life; and

  • foster a coordinated, community-based response against crime.

  • Matt Britsch
