Crime Stoppers of Wichita-Sedgwick County

Crime Stoppers, a program of the Wichita Metro Crime Commission, encourages community participation in the apprehension of criminals.  Crime Stoppers first began in 1975 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  In 1980 KAKE-TV President Martin Umansky returned from a meeting of national television executives where the program had been presented as a potential public service program opportunity for TV stations.  He contacted then Wichita Police Chief Richard LaMunyon, and through a collaboration with many community businesses and leaders Wichita Crime Stoppers was launched.  Now Crime Stoppers of Wichita-Sedgwick County, the program continues to be highly successful because of the cooperative efforts of citizens, media and law enforcement agencies.

​

By providing anonymous tips through the Crime Stoppers website, P3 app or calling the 24-hour Crime Stopper phone number, citizens are encouraged to SAY SOMETHING if they SEE SOMETHING.  When the tip leads to an arrest a reward is given to the tipster.  It is a completely anonymous, safe way for citizens to help curtail crime and apprehend criminals in our community.

​

SPEAK UP is Crime Stopper’s school-based program which receives anonymous tips on concerns in schools.  From bullying to potential school shooters to reporting drug dealers, SPEAK UP has given a voice to students, teachers and parents.  SPEAK UP is in every Sedgwick County school district, as well as the Catholic Diocese of Wichita and Andover school district.
