ABSCONDERS

In May 2001, the top 10 Wanted Absconders started running each Sunday in The Facts.  The feature is very popular and results in more tips each week on the whereabouts of people who are not fulfilling their obligations to the county and their victims.  In November 2001, the Crime of the Week began appearing in eight local newspapers and weekly free papers.  The Alvin Sun Advertiser, Pearland Journal and the Pearland Reporter also publish this column.
 

A volunteer board of directors oversees the operations.  The directors meet once a month and are elected to server a 2 year term.  Their primary purpose is to approve all rewards paid by Crime Stoppers, and other duties as outlined by the laws.
 

Brazoria County Crime Stoppers is a Texas chartered, non-profit organization primarily funded by the fees assessed by a judge for those people receiving probation.  We also receive tax-deductible donations from the community and grant money from the Texas Institute for Criminal Justice.
