What is Crime Solvers?
Hopewell-Prince George Crime Solvers is a community-oriented program involving citizens, the business community, news media, and the Hopewell and Prince George 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 Hopewell or Prince George or to the capture of a wanted person. Crime Solvers is not run by the Hopewell or Prince George County Police Department.

How Does Crime Solvers Work?
Anyone with knowledge of a crime can call the tip line. Callers do not give their names or phone numbers, and they never have to make a court appearance. When a call is received, a fact sheet is filled out which includes a brief summary of the information provided by the caller. The call taker then assigns a "caller number" to that person. That number is the only form of identification the caller will need for any further phone calls to Crime Solvers. 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 caller.
