About Us
The Savannah Crimestoppers program originated in 1983 as a nonprofit organization
and was originally referred to as the Silent Witness organization. Since this time, the
organization has been an integral part of our community providing a venue for citizens
and visitors to report crime anonymously, providing law enforcement valuable
information to help keep our community safe.
In 2012, the Savannah-Chatham County Crimestoppers organization was formally
incorporated in the State of Georgia as a non-profit corporation and continues to be
incorporated to this day. The Savannah-Chatham County Crimestoppers organization
continues to operate pursuant to mutual agreements between the City of Savannah,
Chatham County and the Crime Stoppers Board of Directors. The Crime Stoppers
program is an affiliate of Crime Stoppers USA and conducts business as Crime
Stoppers.
The purposes for which Crime Stoppers was organized are:
A. to establish and maintain a twenty-four (24) hour tip line to the citizens of
Chatham County for the purpose of anonymously providing information on
crime and criminals;
B. to pay cash rewards to callers who anonymously provide information to Crime
Stoppers that leads to the arrest and/or an indictment of an individual
engaged in criminal activity or fulfills the guidelines of provided information
outcome as established by the Board of Directors or the agency that is
pursuing information related to a specific case;
C. to protect the anonymity of the caller;
D. to improve the general quality of life for all citizens and visitors of Chatham
County; and
E. to help develop a community offensive against crime;
