Crimestoppers is a charity that works
with police forces throughout the UK to solve crime. It was set up in 1988
to break the wall of silence that sometimes surrounds crime, a
silence that criminals exploit in order to avoid
justice.
Crime has affected everyone at some point in their lives in one
way or another. It’s easy to feel that there is nothing you can do
or to worry about the consequences if you do pass on
information.
Call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800
555 111 and tell them what you know, not who you are.
With Crimestoppers you have the power to tackle
crime without leaving yourself open. It’s easy, it’s anonymous, and
it’s up to you. You will not be asked your name, your call will not
be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court. You
may also be eligible for a reward
- 6,205 people are arrested and charged every year on average
because of the information received by individual like yourselves
who want to keep communities safe.
- Since starting in 1988 over 89,000 arrests and charges have
been made, £104 million pounds worth of stolen goods have been
recovered along with £167 million pounds worth of illegal
drugs
Every call is valuable to Crimestoppers. Often
your information will be used to help solve existing
investigations. Sometimes however, the information may be entirely
new to the police and will enable them to tackle crimes that they
may otherwise be unaware of.
It is 100% anonymous and Dorset Police will review all
information that is received and where appropriate take action.
That is why your call to Crimestoppers could be so
crucial.
