Get your tickets, or be kind
to an officer - or do both!
 
 
We've got your tickets.

Mark your calendars now for Friday night, May 20, 2016 to see Memphis (The Musical), enjoy great food and drinks, and to support CrimeStoppers of Memphis and Shelby County.

Or, if you can't attend, do the next best thing and send a police officer and guest to the show. (Of course, you can do both!)

Either way - buy your tickets and be kind to our heroes in blue - right here: http://crimestopmem.org/nightattheater.html .          
 
           

 

The event is CrimeStoppers' fifth annual fundraising event, "Night At The Theatre," when we get the whole house at the main stage of Playhouse On The Square, 66 South Cooper Street, for a night to remember. The reception begins at 6 p.m. and the curtain rises at 8.
            
Tickets are $50 and, as friends of CrimeStoppers know from years past, that is a very good deal.

The show is inspired by the true story of a 1950s Memphis disk jockey. It was a time when AM stations were the only ones available on the radio dial, and the music from this city was pouring into a miraculous melting pot that changed the history of pop music.
            
Buy your tickets now and be among the 350 people who get to see the show May 20. Or help us make it possible for more than 100 police officers and their guests to see the show at no cost to them. They deserve it.

 

CopperStoppers was created by CrimeStoppers in collaboration with businesses to fight the theft of and illegal sales, purchases and transportation out of town of copper and other scrap metals.

Copper stripped from wiring, appliances, plumbing or electrical boxes may bring hundreds of dollars when sold, but often results in thousands of dollars in damages to homes, apartments, churches and other facilities.

Special awards up to $1,000 are available for information leading to arrests. 
 
Help stop the criminals - the "copperheads" - doing economic harm to our community.

Record
homicide pace renews focus on 528-CASH
              
More than ever, authorities are relying on people who are witnesses or have what might be valuable information authorities need to call CrimeStoppers on our tips line,  5 28-CASH (2274).
            
Grim news came at the end of March: 60 killings in the city in less than three months. Last year, the comparable number was 37.
            
As the interim police director, Michael Rallings, said in a public statement, it requires a "collaborative effort among law enforcement and the community" to halt such an "unacceptable" increase in homicides.
            
The CrimeStoppers tips line is manned 24 / 7. Every caller remains anonymous.
