Stay safe, keep your family safe, keep your community safe.
Crime threatens the well-being of our children, our families, and it tears apart our communities. Citizens can disrupt crime by sharing knowledge about criminal activities.
If you have knowledge of a crime, call your local police. Or remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers 800-222-8477. Stay safe, keep your family safe, keep your community safe.
Crime Stoppers provides people with the opportunity to share information anonymously about criminal activity. We are committed to engaging the public to reduce, prevent, and solve crime in our communities. It’s the right thing to do.
Our mandate is to work with the local Crime Stoppers chapters throughout BC to engage the public to share information anonymously about criminal activity. We are affiliated with the Canadian Crime Stoppers Association and Crime Stoppers International forming a global network to disrupt crime.
By reporting crime, you are one of tens of thousands of people in BC who has helped to identify drug labs and dealers, catch wanted fugitives, solve arsons, thefts and robberies, and apprehend criminals wanted for violent assaults and murders. One missing piece of the puzzle can make a difference. Aside from being the right thing to do, you may also be eligible for a reward for your tip information.
When to Leave a Tip:
If you need immediate police assistance call 911. If you have information about criminal activity, and are not concerned about revealing your identity, call your local police non-emergency line. If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers 1 (800) 222-8477.
Without the support of our provincial and local partners and sponsors, BC Crime Stoppers could not operate and deliver high quality programs to the community.
Reporting crime activity in your neighbourhood is just one way to protect your community. Together we can build safer neighborhoods by taking a proactive approach to crime and safety. Through increased education and awareness, we can take responsibility for own safety and security. These resources are available to you and your family to keep informed, aware, and safe.
By providing information that Crime Stoppers will share with law enforcement agencies, you are providing an important and valuable public service. We fully understand that disclosure of your identity might put you at risk and we do everything we can to protect your anonymity. However, that anonymity may be open to challenge in the following situations:
A call to Crime Stoppers made with the intention of furthering criminal activity or interfering with the administration of justice.
A party who is guilty of a crime cannot use Crime Stoppers to try to divert the blame onto someone else. Crime Stoppers cannot be used to try to “frame” an innocent person.There is evidence that disclosure of some or all of a tip is necessary to establish someone’s innocence.
Do not send any sexually explicit images or videos because they will be forwarded directly to law enforcement and the sender’s anonymity cannot be assured. These will not be treated as a Crime Stoppers tip and will not be eligible for a reward.
