Crime Stoppers encourages the public to provide anonymous tips about crimes that have been committed, are being committed or, are about to be committed. To sustain the program’s important, viable role contributing to awareness and safety in the National Capital Area, we must continue to build strength on our Board with invested leadership that represents our community.
The program fosters partnerships with all law enforcement agencies, working closely with the public and media to reduce crime and increase safety in our community. Successful candidates will have the opportunity to make a difference as giving back to your community can be a fulfilling way to contribute to the world around you.
