First Coast Crime Stoppers has made it even easier for you to report a crime, Text Tipping. This makes it possible for anyone with a cell phone to immediately report a crime. All you have to do is test "TIP326 plus your message" to CRIMES. When you text your message to CRIMES the text message is sent from your carrier to an encripter that is located in Canada which assigns you a code number that is immediately sent back to your phone. This code is how Crime Stoppers will communicate with you and if your tip results in an arrest information will be sent directly to our phone on how to pick up your REWARD. Tipping has never been easier or more confidential. Now you can submit a tip to Crime Stoppers any time. This method of reporting crimes should not be use for in progress crimes. For in progress crimes you should always call 911.

Note from the Tip Coordinator
Please remember in order to be considered for a reward you must call our Tips Hotline number of 1-866-845-8477 (TIPS) first. Our Call Center will contact the Dispatcher or 911 operator if the call requires urgent action. (Example- Immediate location of a fugitive or wanted person) 
To check the status of your Tip: please call 904-398-3775 every Tuesday or Thursday from 10:00 am til 1:00 pm. You may check on your tip by giving your "Tip Number". The person answering the phone will check the status in the computer. They will tell you if its pending or closed or if your eligible for a reward. Remember Crime Stoppers has to wait to get information back from law enforcement. Different types of crimes take longer to solve than others. Its not unusual to wait 4-6 weeks on a particular case. A lot of times the tipster knows of the arrest before we find out from law enforcement.
