Whistleblower Policy

Any Executive Committee member, Board Member, or other Crime Stopper participant who reports in good faith an ethics violation or suspected violation of law will not be retaliated against by any means, including but not limited to removal or disparagement to their reputation by Crime Stoppers or its Members.

2.    Until the complaint or report is resolved, Crime Stoppers will maintain confidentiality around the matter and the party reporting.
