Anonymity promise

Give information anonymously.

Crimestoppers is an independent charity that gives people the confidence to speak up about crime 100% anonymously. No one else will know you have contacted Crimestoppers. The only person to know you’ve called, or used their online form, is you.

It can be daunting to pass on information about crime, you might be unsure of the type of information that is helpful or what happens after you’ve given information.

However, anything you report to Crimestoppers will be 100% anonymous. Nobody will know you have contacted Crimestoppers. Crimestoppers has an anonymity guarantee and in over 32 years since being founded, that guarantee has never been broken.

Their guarantee means:

• You will never be identified for giving information.
• You will not be asked to give your name or any personal details.
• Your call will not be recorded.
• Your call will never be traced, as Crimestoppers has a ‘no caller’ line display and no 1471 facility.
• Online reports have the same level of anonymity as a phone call, no personal details are required.
• Your computer and mobile phone IP addresses cannot be traced, tracked or saved.

When you make a call, a specially trained call agent will support you through the process and listen to the information you have to give.

They don’t judge or ask how you have obtained information. Crimestoppers are not the police. They are an independent charity who provide a safe place for people to speak up about crime. When information is passed from Crimestoppers to the police, it is anonymous and you can be confident that nothing in it will identify you. Police will check every piece of information in detail and, where possible, act on it.
