Crimestoppers
Contact Crimestoppers to help fight crime.
The fear of people coming forward to help police is one of the biggest difficulties in fighting crime. Anyone who calls Crimestoppers with information about a crime is not asked their name.
More calls mean more vital information. This can lead to an increase in arrests and crimes being solved. Every year Crimestoppers gets tens of thousands of calls, helps with thousands of arrests and recovers millions of pounds worth of property and drugs.
Crime reduction is the responsibility of the whole community not just the police. We can all work together and with your help we can reduce serious offences, petty crime, and make our streets safer.
When you call, Crimestoppers protect your identity by:
- Not asking for your name or telephone number
- You will not need to visit a police station
- Your telephone call is not recorded
- Your telephone number is not traced
If you ring Crimestoppers an operator will take the relevant information. If you wish to call back at any time, you will be given a unique code. This information will be passed to the police who will research it and may be used to help catch criminals and to solve crimes.
