What is the Los Angeles Hit and Run Reward Program?

As of April 15, 2015, Los Angeles has a tiered reward program for information on hit and run accidents to incentivize witnesses to provide police with information. The rewards for information are:

• $50,000 for a fatal injury;
• $25,000 for a permanent, serious injury
• $5,000 for an injury other than a “permanent serious injury”
• $1,000 for property damage.

Information provided must lead to the arrest and conviction of the suspect who fled the scene.

Prior to this ordinance, rewards were offered on a case by case basis.

Alerts are broadcast via Nixle, Twitter, Facebook, and via other electronic delivery methods.
