If you are nervous about reporting a crime and giving your name, you can report it anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
National Capital Area Crime Stoppers is a community-based partnership made up of dedicated volunteers, police and media working together to provide a safer place to live, work and play. Community awareness and engagement are their priorities.
For more information on the program, please visit their website www.crimestoppers.ca.
Statistics
Statistics allow Crime Stoppers to measure the success of the Crime Stoppers program and the positive effect it has on helping our law enforcement partners solve crime. They continue to see strong tip volume resulting in increased results in all areas. Tip volume steadily increased from 2500 tips in 2013 to over 2900 in the first nine months of 2019. Crime Stoppers has noted a decrease in tip volume; however the quality of the tips received resulted in significant increases to all areas. This includes a large increase in recovered arms at sixteen so far this year. Since our founding in 1985, Crime Stoppers tips have resulted in 473 recovered arms.
