Do I have to give any details of myself?

No. It is completely anonymous, nothing will be taken to identify the caller – we only want the details of the person you are giving information about.

Can you trace my call?

No. We do not have caller display or the function to do 1471.

How can I get a reward?

The information you pass must lead to the arrest and charge of that person or recover a large amount of property/drugs..

How much are the rewards?

Rewards range from £50 to £1,000 dependent on the information, which is supplied, what property is recovered, the amount of drugs seized and other factors. The local Board raises the reward money. We are not centrally funded.

Will I have to give my name to claim a reward?

No, we will give you a code number, which will relate to the information you have given. We will only know you by that code number.

How soon will the information I give be acted on?

We pass on all information to the Police who will then take it from there, but for various reasons action may not always be taken immediately.

I am calling from my mobile, will be charged for the call?

Some mobile phone providers will charge for the call. If you do not want this to happen call on a landline or telephone kiosk – your call is free. Bear in mind that some air time providers also display the Crimestoppers name on itemised bills, be careful if you wish to remain anonymous within your own family. If you do call on a mobile you will go through to any of the national call centres, on a landline you will go to your local centre.
