Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers Seeking New Board Members

Do you want to make a difference in your community?  Maybe give a little something back?  Can you commit to just one hour a month?  If you answered "Yes" to any of these, the Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers wants to hear from you.

Crime Stoppers, founded in 1976 in Albuquerque, NM has grown nationally and enjoyed great success with over 450 programs throughout the United States and Canada.  The programs boast an average conviction rate of 95 percent on cases solved by tips to Crime Stoppers.

“We have a very effective program in Northern Colorado,” said Lathrop  “However, we need new individuals to join us.  The program is owned by the citizens of the communities we work in.  It is not a law enforcement program.  Citizens are responsible for the non-profit organization and the volunteer Board of Directors oversee the program.  The Board is responsible for operation of the program and raising funds to support the organization and rewards paid.  It’s very rewarding to know that you are making such a positive difference in our communities,” Lathrop added.

Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers started as Boulder County Crime Stoppers in 1982.  The organization saw a need in many rural communities north of Boulder/Longmont area and east of the Rocky Mountains.  Believing we could make a difference and provide for that need meetings were held and services were offered.  This lead to a change in its name in 2008.  This was done to better reflect the entire area served from Broomfield north to Wyoming, east of the Rocky Mountains.

The program has assisted in solving over 2000 cases, arresting over 1300 individuals and recovering over $20 million in property and narcotics

Board members attend monthly meetings and must pass a background check prior to serving.  For more information about Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers, visit
