Valley Crime Stoppers has launched a campaign targeting fentanyl dealers across Fresno, Madera, Kings, and Tulare counties, offering a $1,000 reward for anonymous tips that result in arrests.

The nonprofit is working with local law enforcement to combat the rise of fentanyl-related deaths, which have exceeded 400 in Fresno County since 2018.

“This drug is killing our neighbors, co-workers, family members, and friends. We need to come together as a community and do something to stop it,” said Dale Mendoza, Valley Crime Stoppers Board President and co-founder of the organization.

Residents can submit anonymous tips that lead to arrests by calling 498-STOP (7867), texting “Valley” to 738477, or visiting www.valleycrimestopers.org.
