The Wauwatosa Crime Stoppers in conjunction with the Wauwatosa Police Department, School Resource Officers and the Wauwatosa School District support and promote the "Quick 50 Program"

Students who step forward to the School Resource Officer or any school staff member with anonymous tips that lead to an arrest and/or the recovery of contraband MAY be eligible for a cash reward of $50 through the "Quick 50 Program". The decision to pay a reward is based on an internally recognized model.

School and police officials agree that most students want to do the right thing to keep their schools and neighborhoods safe but sometimes fear reprisals. The Wauwatosa Crime Stoppers Quick 50 Program offers the safety of complete anonymity while promoting responsibility and allowing students to take action against victimization and crime.

School Resource Officers (L-R) Doug Braun, Joel Kutz and Jeff Griffin want you to know that you can come to them or any staff member and you will remain anonymous.

When to contact a school staff member...

• Maybe you overhear someone bragging about having committed a crime.
• Maybe you know someone who is driving a stolen car...or is hiding from the police...or is a robber or drug dealer.
• Or maybe you just see something that doesn't look right. A strange car. A person acting sneaky. Someone with a gun or knife.

If you aren't sure that what you saw or heard is really a crime, inform school staff anyway. Let them and the School Resource Officer decide if it's worth investigating. It may be a piece of a clue to a big crime.
