Campus Crime Stoppers works! “August 2005 – student arrested on the first day of school! Acting on a tip called into the Campus Crime Stoppers hotline, police arrested a 15 year-old with a loaded 9mm handgun at Lanier High School. Campus Crime Stoppers works!” “May 2005 – The Austin school district makes national news when a 5 year old brought a loaded .380 caliber semiautomatic handgun to Blanton Elementary School. A 5th grader took the gun away and took it to school authorities. For his quick thinking, Campus Crime Stoppers gives the 5th grader a $500 cash reward.” “November 2004 – Loaded gun confiscated at LBJ High School, within seven minutes after a classmate alerted Campus Crime Stoppers.” Campus Crime Stoppers is an award winning program designed to create and maintain a safe campus for our children to learn. Created and funded by Capital Area Crime Stoppers, this program provides a designated tips hotline number that students can anonymously report any illegal activity; weapons, violence, and narcotics on school campuses. If this tip leads to an arrest, school suspension, recovery of a weapon or stolen property, the student becomes eligible for a cash reward. But more important than the money is the pride they derive in taking an active role in making their school safe for themselves their friends, classmates and teachers. Campus Crime Stoppers started with just a few hundred students in 13 AISD Middle Schools and now includes over 150 schools and thousands of students throughout Austin and Travis County. Campus Crime Stoppers is free to all Travis County schools and students and paid for by Crime Stoppers and their sponsors. Campus Crime Stoppers "Report Card" as of October 2006 Tips received 1,490 Arrests 584 Cases cleared 694 Weapons recovered 104 The goal of Campus Crime Stoppers is 100% safe schools. This involves more than just taking anonymous tips. Kids today are faced with a lot of dangers, dating violence, internet predators, bullying, drugs, underage drinkingand more. We strive to give students access to people and services that can make them safe from all kinds of threats. What is Campus Crime Stoppers? Campus Crime Stoppers is a unique program to get students involved in keeping their school safe. It’s a joint effort between Capital Area Crime Stoppers, local law enforcement, and the community to keep the threat of violence, illegal drugs, and weapons and other dangerous activity off our school campuses. How does the program work? It’s easy. If at any time you have information on a crime or you know someone who as a weapon or illegal drugs or is threatening someone else while at school, just call the Campus Crime Stoppers tips hotline number at 499-8477 (TIPS) Do I have to give my name? No! Your call is completely confidential. Crime Stoppers will not ask for your name. When you call, you are given a code number or word. This word or number is for you only and should not be given to anyone else. No one will know you called the tips number unless you tell them. If your tip leads to an arrest or recovery of weapons or illegal drugs you could be eligible for up to a $500 reward! But better than that, you can help keep your classmates, friends, teachers and school safe and crime-free. How do I join Campus Crime Stoppers? Membership is easy – and it’s free!
