What is Crime Stoppers?

Crime Stoppers

Crime Stoppers is the most effective enforcement program to come along in 25 years. The program is based on the simple principle that for every crime committed someone other than the criminal has information that would solve it.

Crime Stoppers relieves the fear of involvement or retaliation by offering anonymity and reduces apathy by offering a reward.

Crime Stoppers encourages people to call with information to solve crimes already committed, those about to occur and / or the whereabouts of wanted persons. This information is then relayed to the appropriate Federal, Provincial or Municipal law enforcement agency for investigation purposes. The identity of the informant is never known.

All persons offering information are eligible for a cash reward, also paid anonymously. The rewards range from $50.00 to $1,000.00 depending upon the weight of the information. Unlike other reward programs which stipulate arrest and conviction, Crime Stoppers pays upon arrest. The waiting time for pay-out is drastically reduced. Pick-up of a cash reward is arranged between Crime Stoppers and the informant.

When the informant calls the direct line for Crime Stoppers they will be assigned a special code number which will identify them in all future dealings. The call will not be traced nor recorded. No one will know who the informant is!

The reward funds are not tax dollars. Instead monies are raised from the private sector by members of the Board. Since Crime Stoppers is incorporated as a charitable organization, ALL DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE.
