Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers recently posted on its Facebook page, using the social media channel it frequently relies on to share information with the public, officials and community members.
The organization is a community-based program that works in partnership with local law enforcement agencies to encourage people to provide anonymous tips about crimes. Crime Stoppers programs typically offer ways for residents to report information without revealing their identities and help investigators develop leads.
Social media posts from Crime Stoppers can boost visibility for active investigations, missing-person notices and community safety alerts by reaching a broad audience quickly. Posting online also allows the organization to remind residents how to submit tips and to promote awareness of public safety priorities in the Mississippi Gulf Coast region.
Readers who have information related to public safety are encouraged to contact local law enforcement or the Crime Stoppers program in their area. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
