Crime Stoppers is one of the best examples of a successful public-private partnership. With the public's help, it can solve crimes including some of the city's most violent and high-profile cases. The Newark Police Foundation's role is to fund and distribute the rewards, coordinate efforts to raise public awareness of Crime Stoppers and seek and accept donations to support the program.
