Detail

Mission Statement: Crime Stoppers is a partnership of the public, police and media that provides the community with a proactive program for people to assist the police anonymously to solve crimes and, thereby, to contribute to an improved quality of life.

 

How Crime Stoppers Works: Each week, the media appeals for information about unsolved crimes that are highlighted in television re-enactments, radio spots and newspaper articles. Individuals who know anyone responsible for a crime or have information that will assist investigators, can call Crime Stoppers at 416-222-8477 (TIPS) or use the toll free number, 1-800-222-TIPS. Crime Stoppers takes information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You never have to identify yourself or testify in court. If the tip leads to an arrest, you may earn a cash reward of up to $2,000. People providing information get a secret code number. Calls are not recorded and no one involved with Crime Stoppers knows the identity of the callers. Crime Stoppers doesn't have call display.

 

Who Operates Crime Stoppers? A group of concerned citizens volunteers to serve on the Board of Directors to oversee the Toronto Crime Stoppers program. Board members meet regularly to manage and promote the program, raise funds and authorize reward payments. The Toronto Police Service provides a coordinator to manage the day-to-day operations, police officers to promote the School Crime Stoppers program and staff to take tips called into the Crime Stoppers hot line. Results Information from callers has led to arrests in homicides, armed robberies, sexual assaults and drug trafficking operations. Results speak for themselves.
