Crime Stoppers

What is Crime Stoppers?

Put simply, Crime Stoppers is a three-pronged approach to solving crime. It relies on cooperation between the police, the media and the general community to provide a flow of information about crime and criminals.

All information can be given anonymously, in a positive atmosphere free from fear of retribution or reprisal.

How Does it Work?

• Crime Stoppers provides a dedicated telephone line between 7am and 12pm daily, for receiving information about criminal and illegal activity, which may solve or assist to solve crime;
• All callers remain totally anonymous: no names are necessary, even when collecting a reward;
• Callers may be entitled to a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to the charging or arrest of offenders, or if drugs or stolen goods are recovered;
• Only a code number, given to you at the time of providing your information, will identify you;
• Rewards are made payable at a branch of one of Australia’s largest banks and can be collected - in cash - by quoting your code number (you do not need an account with the bank);
• Calls are not traced or recorded;
• Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to the Calling Number Display facility.
