Coquille Valley Crime Stoppers (CVCS) is a local organization comprised of concerned private citizens residing in the local communities surrounding Coquille and Myrtle Point, Oregon to include the North Bend/Coos Bay areas, Bandon and Powers. The organization was developed to assist law enforcement in solving existing and "cold" crimes which are or have been committed within our community.
Two of the more prominent cases the CVCS has on the agenda are the Leah Freeman and Jeremy Bright cases. Leah Freeman was a 15 year old teenager from Coquille, Oregon who was murdered in June of 2000. Jeremy Bright was a 14 year old who was reported missing in July of 1986 from the County Fair in Myrtle Point, Oregon. Both cases remain unsolved and are detailed further in the unsolved cases section of this website.
The CVCS meets this objective through organizing events to raise money for rewards. The CVCS is an independent organization and is not affiliated with any law enforcement agency.
It is the mission of the Coquille Valley Crime Stoppers to help local law enforcement solve crimes by raising funds for rewards and publishing information about crimes in the local media. This organization is a not for profit group of private citizens dedicated to making the Coquille Valley and surrounding areas a safer place to live and enjoy our God given rights to freedom.
This organization is open to those individuals and businesses who reside or operate a business within the local community and have an interest in the goals of the organization. The local community is loosely defined as the areas south and east of North Bend to include North Bend, Coos Bay, Charleston, Bandon, Coquille, Myrtle Point and Powers. There are no costs associated with becoming a member of the organization.
The membership process consists of notifying a board member of your desire to join. This can be done either orally or in writing, email applications are also accepted. The board will meet and approve all membership applications, unless there is cause for disapproval, at the next regularly scheduled meeting.
Businesses who join the organization are asked to designate one representative to attend organizational meetings.
If you are unable to attend meetings or to assist with fundraising events, you can still be a participant on our website forums. Registration is quick and easy. It is a great way to offer support to victims' families, to communicate with our members, and to exchange ideas or give suggestions.
