Anonymous crime tips up 17 percent in Pikes Peak area
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) The Pikes Peak Area Crime Stoppers have seen a 17 percent increase in anonymous tips to report a crime in the first six months of 2021. Don Addy, Chairman of PPACS says this is partly due to the increasing crime rate across the country.
“We’re receiving more tips than in the past on a variety of crimes, including wanted felons. We think this is a reflection of the increase in criminal activity taking place across the United States. And more of our tips are resulting in arrests, too. Addy said.
Animal law enforcement in Southern Colorado now has new resources to better combat animal cruelty in the Pikes Peak Region. There is a new partnership with Pikes Peak Area Crime Stoppers.

COLORADO SPRINGS â Crime Stoppers is looking to increase its outreach in the Pikes Peak Region.
Friday, the organization s board announced a new support program aimed at getting area businesses to contribute tips and information.
The program asks businesses to donate $50 for the year and in return, Crime Stoppers will provide a decal that can be placed in a visible area to let people know they are part of the program. So our hope and our goal is that we have this logo across the city on businesses and on storefronts. By placing that on the business storefront, it allows us to raise awareness of our program, Chairman Don Addy said.
