Why Your Support Matters
Crime Solvers of Fairfax County is a volunteer-led, community-funded nonprofit. We are neither funded nor run by the police department. Every dollar contributed to our program comes from neighbors, businesses, and partners who believe that safe communities are built together.
100% of contributions to Crime Solvers of Fairfax County directly support operations of Crime Solvers, successful tip payouts, and programming that keeps our community even safer through public education to prevent crime every day.
We are dedicated to empowering people everywhere to step up, take a stand, and share what they know about crime or suspected illegal activity, safe in the knowledge that they can remain 100% anonymous. That promise of anonymity is not a feature of our program. It is the foundation of it.
Whether you are a member of the civic or business community, the news media, or simply a neighbor in Fairfax County, you play an essential part in the success of Crime Solvers. Your support and cooperation are vital. Without you, Crime Solvers would not work.
Your donation helps us:
- Invest in our guarantee of anonymity, so more people can speak up safely about crime in their community
- Ensure that 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, vulnerable people have a safe and anonymous way to report crime
- Fund cash rewards for tips that lead to arrests and prosecutions
- Support awareness campaigns against the most serious crimes affecting our community, including child exploitation, human trafficking, elder scams, drug trafficking, and violence
