What to Do If You See a Fugitive

The Yakima CRIME STOPPERS team does pay cash rewards for submitting tips that lead to the arrest and conviction of a wanted fugitive. Their website says they pay up to $1000.

If you see a fugitive, the first thing to remember is to not approach them. You don't know whether they are armed with a weapon or could otherwise present a danger to you upon approach.

You can call CRIME STOPPERS at 1-800-222-TIPS (1-800-222-8477). You can also submit a tip online through the CRIME STOPPERS website form.

If you are in immediate danger or see someone who is, call 9-1-1 immediately to report the incident.

With CRIME STOPPERS, you do not have to give your name, so if you're worried about being doxxed, you can remain completely anonymous.
