Did You Know

Assurance of security – using telephones

  1. 1. Crime Stoppers’ phones do not show the caller’s number; they show “Caller ID barred”
  2. Crime Stoppers does not tape calls
  3. It’s 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’s your choice. If you leave your details the investigating police may discreetly contact you as their investigation proceeds.

Assurance of security – using the internet

What happens to your information?

Your information is assessed by NSW Police Force intelligence analysts and sent to the relevant local area police for investigation. The information you supply may form the final piece of the puzzle or alert police to the existence of a criminal or crime.
