Stateline Area Crime Stoppers encourages citizens in Freeport and throughout Stephenson County to assist local law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime by overcoming the two key elements that inhibit community involvement: fear and apathy.

Stateline Area Crime Stoppers provides a toll free telephone number (1-866-TIPS NOW) to encourage citizens in the community to volunteer vital information helpful to law enforcement agencies in their battle against crime. 

You can also submit tips, securely, through our web application or on your smartphone by downloading the P3 application from your app store.  After you download the P3 mobile phone app select Stateline Area Crime Stoppers as your preferred organization and you'll be able to submit tips and stay updated on unsolved crimes and wanted suspects in Stephenson County.  

You can find us on Facebook at username: @StatelineCrime, and if you have any questions you can email us at: statelineareacrimestoppers@gmail.com. 

Tipsters will remain anonymous and may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $1000 for information that leads to an arrest.

Stateline Area Crime Stoppers relies on volunteer directors, court fees and tax deductible contributions from the public in order to operate the administration of the program.
