Crime Alert Facts

26 Years of Dedication to Helping Police Catch Criminals

Private citizen Barry E. Rohrbach organized an initial board in 1998.

We’ve been the #1 CRIME STOPPER PROGRAM IN PENNSYLVANIA in money paid out for tips that lead to arrests for the past 24 YEARS. Rewards are paid in the event of an arrest, up to $10,000.

An All-Volunteer Organization

No one serving as a volunteer on our board is paid. We use all the money that is donated for our communication programs that run all over Berks County. We ask for anonymous crime tips so our police have leads in order to arrest those responsible for crimes in your neighborhood.

How We Do It

The tipster is given a code number (the tipster‘s name is never used) that corresponds to the crime and the tip, then watches the news media for an arrest in their case. The tipster calls back, gives the code number, and is paid a reward in cash for the tip, with- out anyone ever knowing who he or she is.

What We’ve Accomplished So Far

To date we have 754+ arrests and more than $591,624 in reward money paid out to tipsters. This may have prevented a robbery at your business, a break in at your home or a drug deal near your child’s school!

100% of Donations go to Solve Crimes!
