Crime Stoppers

The Sheriff’s Office, along with other law enforcement agencies in the county,  participates in Crime Stoppers of Cherokee County. The program, sponsored by the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce, allows citizens to call the Crime Stoppers hotline with information about any crime, suspected criminal activity, or with the location of wanted criminals or stolen merchandise. Law enforcement investigates the information and, if an arrest is made, the caller is eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000. All calls are kept in complete confidence, and calls may be made anonymously.

We do not record or trace any calls to Crime Stoppers. You do not have to give your name - we only want your information about crimes. You can call Crime Stoppers at 864-489-CRIME (2746) anytime 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and report your information or you can use our anonymous email to report a tip. If you call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line the person taking your information will give you a code number. This code number is what is used to receive any reward if a reward is approved. The Crime Stoppers Board of Directors must approve all rewards; rewards must lead to an arrest or the seizure of drugs or the recovery of stolen property.

Crime Stoppers wants to be able to pay you a reward so it is important that we receive accurate information in order to help the police make an arrest.
