CRIMESTOPPERS

We will pay rewards for information of up to $1,000 in the Student CrimeStoppers program and up to $1,000 in all other matters.

CrimeStoppers Honolulu encourages members of the community to assist local law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime by overcoming the two key elements that inhibit community involvement: fear and apathy.

CrimeStoppers Honolulu provides a secure telephone number and a secure server for Web Tips to encourage citizens in the community to volunteer vital information helpful to law enforcement agencies to fight against crime and to help keep our neighborhoods and educational campuses safe.

Callers can remain anonymous and are eligible to receive a cash reward if the information given leads to an arrest, identification of a criminal perpetrator, recovery of stolen property or seizure of illegal contraband.

CrimeStoppers Honolulu has expanded the program to include affiliated  Student CrimeStoppers  and Animal CrimeStoppers programs. In these programs calls and information eligible for rewards includes activities occurring on educational campuses that is illegal or disruptive to the educational systems or in the case of Animal CrimeStoppers, any activity that also harms any animal.
 

CrimeStoppers Honolulu relies on a professional, sworn police staff assigned by the Honolulu Police Department, volunteer phone operators and an all volunteer board of directors. Fund raising events and tax deductible contributions from the public allow us to operate and administer the program.

Sgt. Chris Kim Retired on January 31;
Sgt. Edmund Ho Named New Coordinator for CrimeStoppers Honolulu

After over seven years as the award-winning coordinator of CrimeStoppers Honolulu – and 26 years with the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) – Sgt. Chris Kim officially retired on January 31.

HPD veteran Sgt. Edmund Ho has been selected by the Honolulu Police Department as the non-profit’s new coordinator.

Sgt. Kim was named coordinator of CrimeStoppers Honolulu in August 2017 and in 2019, he was honored as the CrimeStoppers USA National Coordinator of the Year, besting hundreds of other CrimeStoppers organizations in a first for Honolulu.

“Chris is leaving CrimeStoppers Honolulu on a high note as he has helped significantly broaden our community outreach in his seven-plus years as our coordinator,” said Board President Sanj Sappal. “He leaves huge shoes to fill, but we are confident that Sgt. Ho will bring his own ideas and energy to this critical program.”

Sgt. Ho is a 12-year veteran of HPD who is currently a detective with the Criminal Investigation Division. He was previously assigned to the District 1 (Downtown-Chinatown) Community Policing Team, which strives to reduce crime and create safer neighborhoods by working with schools, businesses and community organizations.

“I want to thank the community, the local media and our partners for their support over these past seven years. Serving as the CrimeStoppers Honolulu coordinator has been an honor,” explains Sgt. Kim. “By working together, we can make our neighborhoods and island safer by solving and preventing crime, and I look forward to seeing where Sgt. Ho will take the program in the coming years.”
