Killeen Crime Stoppers was founded in 1981 and closely follows the set and procedures established in the original program from Albuquerque, New Mexico. KCS is administered by a volunteer, civilian board of directors. They are responsible for raising the money to pay the rewards that we publicize. They determine the amount of rewards to be paid and handle the disbursement of all funds.
Can you identify this person? |
The Killeen Police Department provides a police coordinator for the program. This coordinator is responsible for getting the tips to the right investigators, doing follow-ups on the tips, reporting to the board, producing the crime of the week, acts as the public spokesman for the program, and maintains the records files of the program. The media promote the crime of the week, the activities of the program, and report the successes of the program to the public. The community provides the board members and is the direct source of funds for the reward fund. No tax money is spent on rewards. The board of directors raises money through fund raising projects such as the annual golf tournament and through direct solicitation. Some funds are available through state level grants for administrative costs, etc. Interested in a position on the board of directors? All board members must go through a background check and must attend annual training.
