McCook Crimestoppers have new toll-free number

As part of its ongoing effort to reduce crime in Southwest Nebraska, the McCook Crimestoppers program has obtained a toll free number to call to report illegal activity and adapted a new temporary logo for the organization.

The new number, (866) 345-5440 may be used by persons outside the McCook calling area to better utilize the Crimestopper system. The previous number (308) 345-5440 remains the same for McCook residents.

Crimestoppers accepts information for any jurisdiction. Information obtained from another jurisdiction will be sent to the appropriate law enforcement agency and callers can remain anonymous.

A cash award of up to $1,000 could be given for information leading to the arrest of a suspect in a crime.
