About Metro Richmond Crime Solvers
Our History
Metro Richmond Crime Stoppers (MRCS) was formed in 1984 by a group of concerned retailers, regional law enforcement officials and the support of the Retail Merchants Association. This makes MRCS one of the oldest Crime Stoppers organizations in the USA.
Crime Stoppers USA was formed slightly before 1984 by a New Mexico police officer and the concept spread rapidly. Today there are well over 2,000 organizations nationwide. Most are called Crime Stoppers, but some are known as CrimeSolvers, CrimeLine, TIP Line and others.
The concerned citizens in the Greater Richmond area felt then, as we do today, that an organized citizenry offering rewards could make a significant contribution toward law enforcement’s capability to arrest criminals. The concept has been recognized as being very successful.
