ABOUT CRIMESTOPPERS

Crime Stoppers of Niagara Inc. is a Citizen, Media and Police cooperative program designed to involve the community in the fight against crime. The program provides citizens with a means to supply police with information anonymously. Cash rewards are offered to persons who call the program with information which leads to an arrest. Through this unique partnership of police, media, community and you, we can all help to maintain and improve the quality of life within the Niagara Region. There are currently nearly 1200 Crime Stoppers programs throughout the world.

WHEN TO CALL CRIMESTOPPERS

If you witness a crime or suspect criminal activity in your community, don’t hesitate to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)

Maybe you overheard someone bragging about having committed a crime, or you know someone who is driving a stolen car or hiding from the police. Perhaps you see something that just doesn’t look right, like a strange car or a person acting sneaky. You might even see someone carrying a gun or knife or keeping a weapon in their locker.

It’s essential to report any suspicious activity, even if you’re not sure whether it’s a crime or not. Crime Stoppers will pass the tip on to our law enforcement partners, and they can decide if it’s worth investigating. Your information could be a vital clue to solving a major crime or preventing a dangerous situation from escalating.

Remember, Crime Stoppers guarantees anonymity, so you can feel safe and secure when making a report. Don’t hesitate to call if you witness any suspicious activity, and help us keep our community safe.

We Provide a Way to FIGHT Against Crime

Protecting Our Tip Line: Our tip line is a critical component of our program, receiving over 16,500 tips per year. We take the security of this line seriously, which is why it’s staffed by officers and investigators assigned to Crime Stoppers. Our team monitors and processes the citizen information collected, ensuring that each tip is handled with the utmost confidentiality and care.

Protecting Our Students: We believe that students have an important role to play in preventing crime and victimization. That’s why we offer complete anonymity to students who report crimes or suspicious activity. By promoting responsibility and empowering students to take action, we can create a safer community for everyone.

Protecting Our Environment: Illegal dumping is a growing problem in Niagara, costing the region thousands of dollars every year. Crime Stoppers of Niagara is teaming up with the Niagara Region to encourage more people to report illegal dumping.
