The Waco Police Department doesn’t get a day off in the fight against crime, but it isn’t alone in that fight. Waco Crime Stoppers is an organization of civilian volunteers who work to help solve cases in the McLennan County area. The service allows people to anonymously submit tips about unsolved crimes at the Crime Stoppers hotline or through the P3 Tips app.
