When a person calls in, they are never asked for any identifying information and the call taker does not document gender, time or date.
After the call taker finishes gathering your information, they will assign a number. The tip provider needs to remember the number and if they see an arrest is made, they call back with their number. If there is money to be collected, the tip provider will be instructed where to go.

The Cedar Valley Crime Stoppers will pay a reward for any information reported, but unfortunately, cannot post every crime committed. If an individual would like to have their crime posted with a reward amount they can contact Investigator Brice Lippert with the Waterloo Police Department, 319-291-4340 Ext *3223. The appropriate law enforcement agency will be contacted and information about the crime will be gathered for the post. If an arrest is made the Cedar Valley Crime Stoppers will also add to the private reward.
