How It Works

What happens once you make a report

How to submit a report

We do not trace calls, and we destroy all records of any caller after passing our report to the relevant authority.​​

Calls to Crime Stoppers are free and don’t show up on a phone bill.

Don’t use Teams or Internet calling services​

As the anonymity of our callers is vital, please do not use Teams and internet calling services to call us.

This is because we cannot guarantee your anonymity – other users on your computer may be able to find out you’ve called Crime Stoppers and it’s possible your computer could be located by its IP address.

Submit a report online

You can fill in our secure report form to give information online. We’ve provided some questions to help you tell us everything you know.

The information will be sent over a secure internet connection which makes sure you, and your computer, are anonymous.

Submit a report by phone

Call 0800 555 111 any time to talk to one of our experienced call takers.​ We will ask questions about the crime you have information on but will never ask questions about you.

Talking things through helps you provide the full picture and makes sure the best use can be made of your information. It’s a good idea to ring when you’ve got time to talk and won’t be disturbed.

Currently Crime Stoppers only takes calls in English

If English isn’t your first language and you prefer not to make a phone call, write the information you want to share in your own words and translate it into English using Google or a similar tool before sending it to us via our report form.
