Crimestoppers

The Urbana Police Department participates in the Crimestoppers program of Champaign County. This program pays rewards to people for anonymous tips on felony crimes and fugitives in Champaign County. It is funded by local agencies and businesses.

The Criminal Investigation Division Sergeant attends meetings with all of the other investigative commanders (as well as State Police and the FBI) in the County. They discuss details of on-going investigations and decide on the crime of the week. This crime is featured on television and in newspapers. If the crime of the week occurred in Urbana, a Detective will film the television spot with a local station video crew.
