Upcoming Texas Crime Stoppers Training

Training Requirements for initial certification and continuing certification.

Programs are required to document with at least two training certificates verifying 16 hours of training within the 12-month period preceding the application for certification or continuing certification—one certificate for a board member and one certificate for a coordinator (campus programs may provide a certificate for a school sponsor in lieu of a coordinator).
