In December, our Homeland Security and Terrorism fellow Joan Neuhaus Schaan wrote about Crime Stoppers’ decision to start a tipline for citizens of Juárez, Mexico. The hope was that the ability to phone in an anonymous tip would help reduce crime and violence in a city plagued by narco-terrorism.
The tipline now has a new phone number. When calling from Juarez, the number to dial is 01-800-220-8477. The calls are not being answered in Juárez to enhance the security of callers.
