How it Works

The CS Tips app is the easiest way to submit anonymous tips to Mission Crime Stoppers!

Calls are received at the Alamo Crime Stoppers tips line phone 1-956-702-8477 (TIPS) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

This line does not provide caller ID or are calls recorded. The calls are handled by an onsite Alamo police officer that keeps callers completely anonymous.

  • When you call, you are assigned a tip ID and password, and your tip information is then forwarded to the investigating officer. All tips, no matter how they are sent, are received into the CS Tips program.

  • If you call 911 or local police with an immediate location or urgent concern due to a Crime Stoppers and Texas' Most Wanted case, you have 24 hours to submit your tip. Please include in your tip information the name of the responding officer whom you contacted.

How are cash rewards kept anonymous?

Rewards are up to $1,000 and are calculated based on the severity of the crime and number of charges. However, rewards for homicide and bank robbery are always $1,000.

  • When you call, you are assigned a tip ID and password, and your tip information is then forwarded to the investigating officer. All tips, no matter how they are sent, are received into the CS Tips program.

  • If your information leads to an arrest with charges, you will receive a cash reward. After an arrest with charges is made, the case detective notifies Mission Crime Stoppers of the tip that led to the arrest.

  • If you call 911 or local police with an immediate location or urgent concern due to a Crime Stoppers and Texas' Most Wanted case, you have 24 hours to submit your tip. Please include in your tip information the name of the responding officer whom you contacted.

  • After an arrest with charges is made due to a Crime Stoppers tip, that tipster has 90 days to contact Alamo Crime Stoppers by phone 1-956-702-8477(TIPS) or the CS Tips app to set up a reward.

Remember: Keep both your tip ID and your chosen PIN in a safe place; do not lose and do not share them with anyone. If you share your numbers with anyone, you risk losing your reward.
