Calling 528-CASH led to thousands of dollars in rewards, and hundreds of arrests in the past year.
Crime Stoppers of Memphis and Shelby County awarded close to $100,000 to more than 250 tipsters in 2018.
The executive director, Buddy Chapman, said they have been extremely successful.
“We actually catch around 30 to 45 people a month,” Chapman said. “That’s extraordinary, but we still have more crimes than we should.”
The tips led to 290 arrests and 241 cases solved. Twelve of the cases were homicide investigations.
