Lincoln Logan Crime Stoppers seeks financial support from the community

[June 25, 2023]   Lincoln Logan Crime Stoppers, in celebration of its 40th anniversary, is conducting a fund-raising drive to allow the organization to continue the work that was begun in August 1983.

Lincoln Logan Crime Stoppers is one of the first Crime Stopper programs to be enacted in Illinois. The main mission is to help combat crime by giving monetary rewards to anonymous individuals who provide information to local law enforcement without the fear of retribution.

In the past 39 years funding has been through the court system. Unfortunately, due to current circumstances, funding has decreased significantly, and the community is being asked for help.
Lincoln Logan Crime Stoppers has paid out over $27,000 to anonymous individuals for tips that led to successful arrests.

Lincoln Logan County Crime Stoppers sponsors and participates in various events throughout the year. We offer child fingerprint programs to schools and have partnered with Lincoln Memorial Hospital for Family Bowling Day. We are proud to be able to offer scholarships to eligible Logan County students that are pursuing a career in Criminal Justice, awarding 35 scholarships to date.

Community support is critical if Lincoln Logan County Crime Stoppers is to continue serving the citizens of Logan County.

Donations can be mailed to:

Lincoln, IL  62656

Lincoln Logan Crime Stoppers is a 501( c )3 organization under the Internal Revenue Code. Donations are tax deductible.
