December 20, 2024

As we approach the end of another year, we at Capital Region Crime Stoppers are reflecting on the incredible impact we’ve made together. Since November 1982, your support and trust have helped us achieve milestones that make our community safer every single day.

From November 1982 through April 2024, our partnership with the community has led to the recovery of:

  • $16,151,215 in stolen property
  • $22,105,850 worth of illegal narcotics seized

That’s a total of $38,257,065 in recovered assets—proof that our combined efforts make a difference.

Crimes Solved and Arrests Made
Through the courage of tipsters and the dedication of law enforcement, we have:

  • Solved 14,271 crimes
  • Made 13,248 arrests
  • Paid out $2,470,225 in cash rewards—all while maintaining complete anonymity for tipsters

Here’s a closer look at the crimes we’ve helped solve:

  • Homicide: 285 cases
  • Rape: 34 cases
  • Armed Robbery: 918 cases
  • Attempted Homicide: 211 cases

  • Fugitives: 3,873 cases
  • Other Crimes: 432 cases

A Community Effort
These numbers represent more than just statistics—they reflect lives saved, justice served, and a community that refuses to tolerate crime. Every tip, no matter how small, contributes to this success. Together, we’ve built a safer Baton Rouge and surrounding areas for families, businesses, and future generations.

Looking Ahead
As we move into 2024, we remain committed to our mission. But we can’t do it without you. Whether it’s reporting a tip, spreading awareness, or simply supporting our efforts, you are an essential part of what makes Crime Stoppers so effective.

If you have information about a crime, remember:

Your identity is always protected. No names. No court appearances. Just results.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to continuing to make our community safer—together.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Capital Region Crime Stoppers!
