About Us
About our Program
Founded in 1985 through the efforts of local leaders, community organizations, and Lavaca County law enforcement agencies, Lavaca County Crime Stoppers has grown into an independent organization dedicated to reducing crime and improving public safety.
Our program is built on a collaborative partnership among local media, businesses, civic and social organizations, law enforcement agencies, and the community. By engaging, educating, and empowering citizens, while offering cash rewards for information that helps solve crimes, Lavaca County Crime Stoppers serves as an effective tool in the fight against crime throughout our area.
Through community involvement and cooperation, we remain committed to making Lavaca County a safer place to live, work, and raise a family.
