HOW DOES IT WORK?

When a caller calls:
One of the co-ordinators answers the phone and takes your information about the illegal activities. The co-ordinator may issue you a code number, this number is used to identify your information. Your information is then passed on to the respective investigating agency. Crime Stoppers accepts information on everything inclusive of traffic offences, welfare fraud, UI fraud, bootlegging, smuggling, sale of cigarettes to minors, poaching, and everything else from driving without a license to murder. Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display.

What events take place before a reward is allocated:
Callers are asked to call back and check on their tip and then the caller is advised whether or not a reward will be paid. The investigation is completed and results are reported to the co-ordinators. 

How the reward is determined and collected:
The co-ordinators determine if a reward will be paid and suggest the amount of reward to the board. The board then makes the final decision. Rewards range from $50 - $1000. Reward money comes from donations, community fundraising, and corporate sponsors. 

Qualifications of a Successful Tip

A tip must:

lead to a charge 
lead to an arrest 
lead to recovery of stolen property or illicit drugs 
warrant denial of an insurance claim 


Unlike other organizations we do not require a court conviction to pay a reward.
