Crime Solvers
If you are a witness or know about a crime, please call 804.769.3000. King William
and West Point Crime Solvers, Inc. officially began operation in 1996.
In 2003, King & Queen County joined the organization and the name
was changed to Mattaponi Crime Solvers. Its mission is to assist local
law enforcement with solving crimes in King & Queen, King William,
and West Point. Crime Solvers works in cooperation with law enforcement,
the media, and citizens to provide information about crimes.
If you witness
or know about a crime, simply call Crime Solvers at 804.769.3000. You
never have to give your name. In fact, you are only referred to by a caller
identification number. The Crime Solvers phone line is not hooked up to
any tracing system. All callers remain anonymous and you never have to
appear in court. In your information leads to an arrest or recovery of
stolen property, you may receive a cash reward of up to $1,000. Crime
Solvers is a safe, effective way for citizens to fight crime.
The
Department is in the process of accreditation through the Virginia State
Law Enforcement Accreditation Coalition.
