Crime Stoppers
Crime Stoppers is a provincial program offering members of the local community, in partnership with the media and law enforcement, an opportunity to provide crime-solving assistance to law enforcement. Crime Stoppers is a community response to crime and is not an extension of law enforcement. The program offers cash rewards to anonymous tipsters who telephone the Crime Stoppers tipsline with information regarding a serious crime or drug related offense.

Frequently Asked Questions |
 |
|---|---|---|
• How does the program work?Any person with information on a serious crime can contact the Crime Stoppers office at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). If the information helps police solve a crime, the tipster will qualify for a cash award from $50.00 to $2,000.00. • Will I have to testify in court?No. Tipsters are interviewed over the phone about their knowledge of the crime, but will never be identified to police or asked to appear in court. • How can a tipster be paid and still remain anonymous?When a tipster calls Crime Stoppers he or she is given a tipster number which is their only identification. If the tipster qualifies for a cash award, the amount and payment is made by our community volunteers. The payment is made in a public place during daylight hours. The tipster has a description of who is going to pay them, the time and the place. The tipster will only have to give their number to receive the cash award. |
