We are NOT the police.

All local Ontario CrimeStoppers programs act as the "middleman" between the Tipster and the investigative/police agency. They are not-for-profit registered charities that are operated by volunteers from the community. The programs rely on donations from sponsors, community partners and the public through individual fundraisers, to support their efforts.

In the event of an emergency, if you are the victim of a crime or if you witness a crime in action, always call 9-1-1.

Please only contact Crime Stoppers to anonymously report suspicious or covert activity, or to provide a tip or information about an unsolved case or suspected criminal activity.

Cash rewards are based on the usefulness of a tip in solving a crime.

The payouts are higher for more serious crimes such as murder, sexual assault, illegal drug seizures & distribution, weapons seizures & distribution,  human trafficking, etc.   For less severe crimes like vandalism, petty theft, etc., the cash rewards are smaller.

Rewards are approved by the local Crime Stoppers Board of Directors. Rewards can be up to $2,000.
 

Once you check in with Crime Stoppers, you will be advised of the amount of the reward approved by the local Board of Directors. You will be given specific instructions on how and where to pick up the cash.

It is a safe public setting and is different for every tipster. You never have to identify yourself.

When submitting your tip through the online web portal, there is provision to upload videos, photos and also audio files.  There is a maximum of 100 Megabytes allowed for file uploads.

And please know that videos and photos can be an immense help in identifying suspects and making an arrest.
