Crime Stoppers of Southeast Texas was established on November 1, 1981.  KFDM Channel 6 News saw the New Mexico Program and presented the idea to the Beaumont Police Department.  Chief Willie Bauer gave approval for the formation of the Beaumont Crime Stoppers Program.  Go to the Statistics Section to see what Beaumont Crime Stoppers has done.
The Actual Crime Stoppers Contact Process
- A person may call Crime Stoppers of Southeast Texas at (409) 833-TIPS, downloads the P3TIPS app on their mobile device or submit a tip on this website. The caller provides anonymous information about a crime and is provided with a secure tip ID code #. The caller will not be asked for their name or contact number.
- The caller must call back or check the app for the status of their tip.
- If the information provided in-fact resulted in stopping a crime from happening, recovered property or an arrest was made the caller may be eligible for a reward not to exceed $1,000.00.
- The caller will be directed to a local drive-thru bank. The caller sends a note to the teller that includes the secure code #. The reward amount will be paid in cash to the tipster. The caller leaves without ever being identified.
All calls are kept anonymous. No identification is required.
Reward Assignment Process
The Crime Stoppers of Southeast Texas board is comprised of volunteers from the community who unselfishly give their time and services to the program. They meet once a month to discuss the reward recommendations and other Crime Stoppers business. They tirelessly work throughout the year to raise funds to keep the program successful.
