Nebraska Wildlife Crimestoppers is a cooperative wildlife enforcement program
sponsored by the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission and the Nebraska Wildlife
Protectors Association (NWPA). It offers rewards for information resulting in
arrests for game law violations. This program allows sportspersons to report
violations anonymously and give needed information on wildlife crimes. To date,
1,679 investigations have been initiated, resulting in 1,046 arrests and seizure of
hundreds of protected species with more than $81,800 in rewards being paid. The
program is promoted through the Nebraska Wildlife Crimestoppers Stop Poaching
Trailer, which travels to events across the state. The Crimestoppers hotline is
1-800-742-7627.
