About Beaufort County Crime Stoppers

Beaufort County Crime Stoppers provides a valuable resource in helping law enforcement agencies take criminals off the streets, recover stolen property, and confiscate dangerous drugs. This is achieved by paying rewards to “tipsters” for anonymous tips that help solve crimes, make arrests, and recover stolen property and/or drugs. Beaufort County Crime Stoppers is facilitated by a volunteer civilian board. The Sheriff’s Office provides a coordinator to answer the tip line and advise the board on the outcome of the tips received. Since the inception of Crime Stoppers in 1997, the organization has recovered over $800,000 in stolen property, weapons and drugs.

The Crime Stoppers program has enjoyed great success with the information received which has led to the arrest and indictment of those responsible for committing felony offenses, boasting an average conviction rate of approximately 95% on cases solved by a tip to the program.

Crime Stoppers is a partnership between the Community, the Media, and Law Enforcement.
