BEAUFORT COUNTY, S.C. (WSAV) – Crime Stoppers of Beaufort County, Inc. is a new program to serve residents and law enforcement agencies of Beaufort County by offering individuals a way to report tips anonymously and crime-solving assistance to law enforcement.
Crime Stoppers of Beaufort County, Inc. was formed in September 2024 following the announcement that the regional program, Crime Stoppers of the Lowcountry, was
dissolving.
To ensure both the public and area law enforcement agencies had all tools available to report and deter criminal activity in Beaufort County, several residents worked to form the new Crime Stoppers program.

Crime Stoppers of Beaufort County, Inc. operates as an independent non-profit 501(c)(3) organization operating in accordance with its own established bylaws.
Ramona K. Townsend has been named as the coordinator for the program, serving as
the liaison between the board of directors and law enforcement agencies operating
within Beaufort County.
Crime Stoppers of Beaufort County relies on cooperation from the community, the
media and law enforcement to provide a flow of information as it relates to suspicious
and criminal activity in Beaufort County. Those who submit tips are called, “tipsters” and
remain anonymous. Each tipster is given a unique computer-generated tip ID and
password for tips submitted. These numbers are the only way to confirm tip submission
and, if applicable, to receive a reward.
The toll-free hotline phone number for Crime Stoppers of Beaufort County is 844-847-7238 (844-TIPSBFT).
