About the Program

Crime Line is a non-profit, community program that unites the public, the media, and the police in the fight against crime. Crime Line offers anonymity and cash rewards to citizens who furnish information. If information leads to an arrest, recovery of stolen property or the seizure of illegal drugs, callers receive a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Since 1982, Crime Line and Crime Solvers in Hampton Roads have closed the book on more than 15,000 cases and assisted in the recovery of millions of dollars in stolen property and illegal drugs.

Caller Information
