The Macon Regional Crimestoppers in Macon, Georgia, is a key player in community safety. Since 2000, this non-profit has been vital in resolving over 11,000 cases and aiding in nearly 7,000 arrests across eight counties in Middle Georgia.

WGXA’s Brianna Cook recently explored the organization’s unwavering commitment to maintaining the anonymity of its tipsters in her interview with Sergeant Greg Thomas, the executive director. Thomas emphasized the strict confidentiality protocol: tipsters are given a unique number as their identity, ensuring no one knows who called unless they reveal it themselves.

Reward collection is equally secure. Tipsters receive their reward from a bank with just their tip number, requiring no ID, thus maintaining their anonymity.

This thorough approach fosters a safe environment for community members to share crucial information, contributing significantly to local safety and crime resolution.
