I’ve been involved in countless situations over the years where the little piece of information provided by a member of the public has resulted in a significant arrest.
We all have a vested interest in making our area as safe as possible and I know that as a collective, we want to create an environment where our families can grow up without a fear of crime.
If you would like to play a part in making our community safer, consider whether you have information such as:
- People wanted by the Police
- Unsolved crimes and future crime that is being planned
- People you know who committed criminal offences where they have not been arrested
- Suspicious or unusual activity
You can report anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or online at: www.crimstoppers.com.au
Some of the figures below, from NSW over the 2017/2018 financial year, highlight the success of the Crime Stoppers program.
