You and Crime Stoppers are a crime-fighting team helping law enforcement control crime. If you know something, say something. Help take crime off our streets and out of our communities.
The V.I. Police Department and our federal law enforcement partners continue to reduce the number of illegal guns in the territory through investigations and conducting traffic stops, but they cannot be completely effective without the help of the community. If you know someone who has an illegal gun in his or her possession please notify police or call Crime Stoppers.
Please provide information on where the weapon is kept, whether it is on the person, stuck in his waistband, kept in a vehicle or in a residence. Please be as specific as you can. Do your part and help VIPD take guns off the streets before another person is injured or killed. Crime Stoppers pays $357 for every illegal weapon recovered as a result of an anonymous tip.
