What is anonymity?

Anonymous means that your name is not known or made public.

We know that our guarantee to never ask for your name, record your call or trace your online form is vitally important to you.

It makes it easier for you to come forward, breaking the silence around criminal activity and removing your fear.

What we mean by anonymous:

  • You will never be asked for your name
  • Your call will not be recorded
  • Your call or online form will not be traced
  • You will not have to make a statement to the police
  • You will not appear in court

We create a report from the information you give us. Our specially trained coordinators will check that this report contains no information that might identify you, e.g. if the call is about your neighbor we will not mention this. We don't even make a note of your gender.

Did you know...?
Crime Stoppers' promise of anonymity has never been broken.

If the identity of one of our callers was made known it would destroy trust in Crime Stoppers and no one would contact us. This is why it as important to us as it is to you that we can guarantee your anonymity
