Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia says the department will have discussions with North Texas Crime Stoppers after a FOX 4 investigation found the program is not keeping track of tips that lead to an arrest.
North Texas Crime Stoppers told a Dallas couple earlier this year that they were ineligible for a reward because they called 911 instead of their hotline. A FOX 4 investigation into North Texas Crime Stoppers revealed deceptive messaging, a lack of accountability and a system a former federal investigator calls "more than ripe" for fraud.
The reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a suspect in a hit-and-run crash that killed Arlington motorcycle officer Darrin McMichael.
