It is the mission of the South Bend Police Department to deliver professional, effective services, fairly and ethically, at all times, to all people, in order to prevent crime, control crime, and enhance the overall quality of life for residents and visitors.

Michiana Crime Stoppers was established to create a partnership between law enforcement and the community to prevent and control crime. If you are aware of a crime or wanted person in your community, you are encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 342-STOP, or (574) 288-STOP.

When leaving information, you can remain anonymous or leave contact information for follow up opportunities.

You may ask yourself, “Why should I get involved?” The answer is simple. Calling 288-STOP helps stop crime and enhances the overall quality of life of everyone in your community by getting criminals, who target innocent people, off the streets. It also helps hold offenders accountable for their actions.

You can safely and anonymously submit your crime tips in several convenient ways:

• Call (574) 288-STOP and talk on the TipLine
• Long distance, call 1 (800) 342-STOP and talk on the TipLine
• Enter a tip on Crime Stoppers website or P3 Tips

1 (800) 342-STOP and (574) 288-STOP are anonymous tiplines.
