How it Works

If you have information about a crime or about a fugitive avoiding arrest, you can give that information to Crime Stoppers of Minnesota, and we will share only the tip information with the appropriate Police Department, Sheriff’s Office or Federal Agency for them to investigate and follow up on.

You can remain anonymous and may be eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $1,000 if your information helps in making an arrest. No matter how minor in importance or incomplete the information you have may seem to you, it could fit in with other facts that the investigator has and help solve a crime, make an arrest, or help the investigation. Information is accepted for any crime or about any fugitive you have knowledge of whether or not a request for information has been publicized and whether or not it is listed on this site.
