Oakland Crime Stoppers has not paid rewards in over three years and can't access its bank account, raising concerns about its operations and nonprofit status.
The Oakland Police Department acknowledged that while there were challenges, there was never any intention to mislead the public regarding the reward system provided by Crime Stoppers.
The organization’s nonprofit status has been suspended since 2008, leading to ineffective oversight and the inability to provide promised rewards to community members.
Investigation reveals that despite ongoing crime reporting, Oakland Crime Stoppers' board has not convened in over three years, directly impacting their ability to function.
