CopperStoppers is a collaborative program developed by CrimeStoppers of Memphis and Shelby County, in partnership with local merchants and business associations, aimed at combating the theft and illegal trade of copper and other scrap metals. The initiative seeks to prevent the significant damages caused by thieves who strip copper from various sources, such as wiring, appliances, plumbing, and electrical boxes, resulting in substantial financial losses for homeowners, apartments, churches, utilities, and other establishments.
By offering special awards of up to $1,000 for information leading to arrests, CopperStoppers encourages community members to report any knowledge or suspicions of copper theft in their neighborhoods, thereby safeguarding homeowners, merchants, and the overall economic well-being of the city of Memphis, Tennessee.
