Mountain's Most Wanted is a program that allows a person to provide crime solving assistance to the authorities without being directly involved in the investigation process. That person could also be eligible for a reward if the reported information results in an arrest. This type of Crime Stopper program is operated in many communities worldwide.
How does this program work?
-
The first step begins when a concerned citizen makes an anonymous telephone call to Crime Stoppers by calling (828) 255-5050. The coordinator or Communications takes the information offered, and gets the individual's date of birth.
-
Information obtained by the Crime Stoppers coordinator will be forwarded to the appropriate agency and division.
-
The board will vote on the dollar amount to be awarded to the anonymous person when an arrest has been made based on the caller's tips.
-
When the caller contacts Crime Stoppers to check on the status of his/her file, the coordinator will inform him/her of the arrest and the reward money. The coordinator will get a physical description of the caller and will give him/her a receipt number to use to receive the cash money. A time and place to meet a board member will be set up.
-
The caller and board member will meet in the designated place, and the caller will have to write their receipt number on the paper, and will receive his/her cash reward.
