Did You Know

Assurance of security – using telephones

  1. Crime Stoppers telephones do not show the callers number ie: Caller ID barred
  2. Crime Stoppers does not tape calls.
  3. It is your decision whether to leave your name or not
  4. Dial 1800 333 000

This is because your information is more important to us than your identity. Of course, if you are willing to tell us your name and contact details, that’s even better, but it is your choice. If you leave your details the investigating police may discreetly contact you as their investigation proceeds.

Assurance of security – using the internet
