"Together we do make a difference"

Crime Stoppers is a community action program that gives citizens the opportunity to become involved in the fight against crime in Miami-Dade County and make our community a better place to live, work and go to school. Crime Stoppers is comprised of three segments (the community, law enforcement and the media) working as partners towards one goal - reducing crime.

Callers can remain anonymous and are eligible to recieve a cash reward if the information given leads to an arrest or grand jury indictment of a felony offender.

Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers is funded in part through the Attorney General's Office Crime Stoppers Trust Fund.  Additionally, Crime Stoppers relies on volunteer Directors and tax deductible contributions from the public in order to operate the administration of the program.

Horse killings/mutilations are on the rise in Miami-Dade (and Broward) counties.  This is an on-going problem that has spiked in recent months.  Authorities are investigating over a dozen horse killings that have been reported since June 2009 in which the animals appear to have been butchered for their meat.  It is believed that the horse meat is being sold on the black market for $20/lb. and higher.  Buying or selling horse meat is illegal in South Florida.  The illegally butchered animals were given steroids, tranquilizers, and antibiotics on a regular basis so their meat is toxic to people.  Call (305)471-8477 (TIPS), text a tip to 274637 (crimes) (then begin msg with CSMD followed by your info), or click the Give A Tip icon in the left sidebar here on our website to help put an end to these henious crimes.  You do not have to identify yourself and your tips will remain confidential.  If your tip results in an arrest you will be eligible for a reward of up to $15,000.00.
