| Form 990, Part III, Line 4a | The Safe Community Institute met and exceeded many goals in 2023. Throughout the year, the program, which includes the Safe Community Program, Victim Services Program, The Glenda Gordy Research Center, and The Balanced Voice Podcast, reached 2,045,955 community members through prevention education and reached a projected 2,755,822 community members through community outreach events. Specifically, we reached 209,024 community members and parents through our Safe Community Program, served 2,832 victims through our Victim Services Program, reached 1,727,725 people though our podcast The Balanced Voice, and provided 106,354 people with crime statistical data through The Glenda Gordy Research Center. We also expanded our volunteer program significantly to be able to better serve all communities across The Greater Houston Area in which we had 882 unique volunteers who spent 1,448 volunteer hours with us in 2023. Through our Victim Services Program we continued our Victim Impact Statement Video Project in which we provide victims of violent crime the opportunity to record their story of victimization to be submitted to their victim portal and viewed by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles regardless of their ability or willingness to attend parole board hearings for years to come. To date we have recorded 32 victim impact statement videos and used 4 videos in active parole hearings where parole was denied on all 4 occasions. Our Victim Services Team attended, and spoke at, multiple statewide and national conferences about this project and the program has received state and national accolades for its innovative approach to post-conviction advocacy. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4b | Tip Line Program: CSOH operates 713-222-TIPS, a telephone tip line. Information about criminal activity is received and transferred to law enforcement for immediate action. Callers are promised anonymity and cash rewards of up to $5,000 in exchange for their accurate crime tips. Our organization provides a safe forum for citizens to report crime in their neighborhoods and schools without the fear of retaliation. We are the eyes and ears of law enforcement in the community. In 2023, the Tip Line received 11,812 tips which assisted law enforcement in solving 371 cases ranging from Capital Murder to Fugitive Warrants that led to 189 suspects being charged and/or arrested. These tips resulted in 21 weapons and $222,514 in illegal drugs seized plus $69,302 in stolen property/cash recovered. The approved Reward payout to 182 men, women and students totaled $191,500. CSOH received $61,024 of restricted cash from court fines to help pay tipster rewards and three area law enforcement agencies donated services valued at $1,871,428 to process and investigate the anonymous tips. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4c | The Crime Stoppers of Houston (CSOH) Safe School Institute met and exceeded many goals in 2023. During the year, the Safe School team reached 128,145 students and 10,807 educators/school law enforcement in just Harris County. Statewide, the team reached 30,477 students and 8,257 educators/school law enforcement in just our first year of statewide expansion. In conjunction with the Safe Community Institute, we created a sextortion and pornography guide for parents and their children, designed topical safety posters for K-12 schools to be used in tandem with prevention education, and created a "drugs in a snap" resource guide for middle and high school students. On the state level, we created a newsletter with over 300 school safety contacts from all over Texas and reached 54 new schools. Our partnership with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) has proven to be extremely helpful in building partnerships and relationships with school safety personnel across Texas. Program leads continue to attend monthly meetings on Human Trafficking and Educator Resources. CSOH and SSI have continued to host a virtual quarterly statewide training. The SAVE webinar series is offered every Monday through the CSOH website to educate and provide resources on school safety topics. Lastly, because of our partnership with the TEA, we are creating strong partnerships with Education Service Centers (ESCs) in all 20 regions. |
