HBA AND EPC’S CRIMINAL INTELLIGENCE UNIT HAVE PARTNERED WITH ​CRIME STOPPERS TO COMBAT JOBSITE THEFT

The Housing & Building Association and the El Paso County’s Sheriff’s office have partnered with Crime Stoppers to set up a “Construction Theft Tip Line”. This is an anonymous tip line for reporting theft or vandalism on active construction sites. Through an account set up and managed by the HBA, Crime Stoppers will pay rewards for tips specific to construction related theft. Our Membership has set the reward amount at $1,000 per tip that results in the arrest of a person or persons removing materials from our jobsites.
