About our Program
The East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers Program launched on May 1, 2021 from the efforts of the Knoxville City Council, Mayor Kincannon's Office, along with Chief Eve Thomas and the Knoxville Police Department.
Our Coverage Area
The East TN Valley Crime Stoppers program enables citizens to anonymously report individuals who are known or suspected of committing criminal acts in our community. Crime Stoppers cases are featured in the news, on television and radio announcements.

Presently, over 1,000 Crime Stopper programs operate worldwide. The East Tennessee Valley Crime Stoppers Program, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)3 volunteer civilian organization.
