Fairfax County Crime Solvers is a community-oriented program involving citizens, the business community, news media and the Fairfax County Police Department working together in the fight against crime. The Crime Solvers Board is comprised of a group of citizens who pay cash rewards for information leading to the arrest and indictment of any person or persons who commit crimes in Fairfax County or to the capture of a wanted person.
Crime Solvers is not run by the Fairfax County Police Department.

Anyone with knowledge of a crime can call the tip line or send an anonymous e-mail. Tipsters do not give their names or phone numbers, and they never have to make a court appearance. When a tip is received, a fact sheet is filled out which includes a brief summary of the information provided by the tipster. The tip taker then assigns a "caller number" to that person. That number is the only form of identification the tipster will need for any further communication with Crime Solvers, and if and when a reward is paid to the tipster.
If the information provided results in an arrest and indictment, apprehension of a fugitive or the recovery of stolen property or illegal narcotics, a cash reward ranging between $100 to $1000 is paid to the tipster.

Crime Solvers is a non-profit organization which relies solely on donations from local businesses and private citizens. No tax dollars are used for rewards. In short, Crime Solvers depends on you for the funds to pay those who provide the information that helps Crime Solvers fight crime!

Yes! Since the program began in October 1979, information received through Crime Solvers has led to the arrest of almost 800 criminals, including more than 200 fugitives, and the closure of more than 1,700 crimes, which include murders, rapes, robberies and burglaries. Over $3,291,585 in stolen property and illegal narcotics has been recovered.
