Primary Exempt PurposeThe planned activities of this organization are to raise money to pay for crime tips from anonymous "tipsters" and provide the information received to the various law enforcement agencies, the media and the overall community in the Orange county region to arrest criminals from the information received by offering rewards to anonymous individuals who provide information leading to an arrest. There are currently over 300 Crimestoppers programs worldwide. The organizations activities will provide a bridge between the community, law enforcement and the media. The Crimestoppers program allows a tipster complete anonymity and facilitates law enforcement agencies additional ways to investigate crimes and provide information across various agency boards. This allows cross jurisdictional access and ability to work together to have a virtual free flow of information while maintaining the "tipster's" anonymity. Crimestoppers' tips are sent to the appropriate agency and division for follow-up invePrimaryExemptPurposeTxt

OCCS works in partnership with the community, the media and law enforcement to facilitate the sharing of valuable tips that will hopefully reverse cold cases and all unresolved crimes to help create a safe community.HISTORY:OCCS is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and law enforcement liaisons committed to supporting OCCS. Orange County Sheriff's Department is the lead coordinating agency for this program and is a shared county wide effort and collaborative partnership with all law enforcement agencies.OCCS provides the Orange County area with the tools to empower ordinary citizens to fight crime. Citizens can report crime anonymously via web, text and/or toll free number. Every web and text tip is assigned its own encrypted code. It is a tipster's choice on whether to choose to respond to any further questions and they can "delete thread" at any time. There is no way to obtain identifying information through this code.DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt
