Lake Tahoe Secret Witness Program

The Lake Tahoe Secret Witness Program is a non-profit organization created to be the extra eyes and ears in our community to help law enforcement with put a stop to on-going criminal activity. It was developed as the result of the senseless killing of a local teenage during an armed robbery back in the early 80's at a local gas station. This Program allows concerned citizens to call a local number and anonymously leave information that could possibly result in the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators committing these crimes. The caller is given a code number. If there is an arrest and conviction for a crime that is reported, the person that called would be able to receive a monetary award up to $2500. The distribution of these funds is dictated on what type of crime is committed, if the caller presents his/her Secret code number and if there is an arrest and conviction. There is no timetable as this Program will continue as long as there are funds available.
