The Blaine Police Department has teamed up with Crime Stoppers of Minnesota to help fight crime in the city.

Crime Stoppers of Minnesota is a not-for-profit organization enabling residents to safely and anonymously provide information about crime and criminals. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 for tips leading to the arrest and charging of a criminal. Most importantly, however, is Crime Stoppers’ guarantee of anonymity.

Crime Stoppers of Minnesota is funded by private donations and fund raising and run by volunteers. The reward money paid out is from the fund raising and donations from concerned citizens and businesses.
