Giving Information

By calling Crimestoppers you can pass on information about crime, anonymously. Crimestoppers callers know what’s going on but can’t, or won’t, walk into a police station. You may know the person involved, have overheard something you shouldn’t, seen something and don’t know what to do. Whatever it is you know something about a crime or a criminal, so tell us what you know, not who you are.

Crimestoppers key function is to ensure your information about crime reaches the police or other relevant authority. You won’t be asked your name, nor to make a formal statement or to give evidence in court. But perhaps most importantly, because you’ve given information anonymously you needn’t fear reprisals.

Even in this communications age picking up the phone is the easiest and the best way to pass on your information to Crimestoppers. We will never attempt to trace or record your call – not even for quality control or monitoring purposes. We do not have the facility to use 1471 to find a phone number. If you are at all concerned reassure yourself by dialling 141 before 0800 555 111 which blocks your phone number. Or use a phone box – its free.

Remember if the anonymity of one of our callers was made known it would destroy Crimestoppers as no one would feel they could trust us. This is why it is so important to us that we can guarantee your anonymity.

The most valuable information comes from a phone call. Our experienced call operators can make sure we have all the correct information, no opportunity for confusion over a name or address. Your information can therefore be used to best effect in solving crimes.
