The Carbondale Police Department encourages residents to use the Crime Stoppers phone line to report suspicious or criminal activity. By calling 618-549-2677 (COPS), you can provide valuable information while remaining completely anonymous. Each caller receives a unique code for future communications, ensuring their identity remains confidential. This initiative has led to numerous arrests and community safety improvements over the years, with rewards up to $1,000.00 for helpful tips.
Carbondale Police also offer an online option for reporting crimes. Residents can visit the Forms Center on the City’s website and complete the Crimestopper Tip form. After submitting the form, individuals should call the Crime Stoppers line to receive a unique tip number. This process maintains anonymity while enabling the police to gather crucial information.

Modern investigative techniques and outstanding investigative work have greatly benefited the Carbondale Police Department. However, community-provided information remains invaluable for solving crimes and maintaining safety. The police rely on residents to share any suspicious or criminal activity they observe.
Remember, "Crime doesn’t pay, but Crime Stoppers does!" Your anonymous tip could lead to a safer community and a cash reward. By working together, the Carbondale community and police can continue to enhance public safety and address criminal activity effectively.
