Crime Stoppers is a community-based program which began in NSW in 1989.

We collect information which may help police stop, solve or prevent a crime. Some people prefer not to become involved in a police investigation and therefore may not share what they know about a crime directly with police. Crime Stoppers welcomes that information without the person needing to give their name.

We encourage the public to share information about:

• People wanted by police
• Unsolved crimes
• Crime that is being planned
• People you know who have committed criminal offences where they have not been arrested
• Suspicious or unusual activity

If you need an immediate police response, call 000.

What’s in it for you?

• A safer community for NSW
• Police and the community working together
• A community that’s active in protecting itself
• Personal satisfaction in doing the right thing

Rewards

The Board of Crime Stoppers NSW oversees the program and approves reward payments of up to $1,000 if your information leads to an arrest.

When you contact Crime Stoppers

You will be provided with a unique code when you contact Crime Stoppers. Use this code when providing further information or to inquire about a reward.
