Crimestoppers
Craven
We’re an independent charity that gives you the power to speak up to stop crime, 100% anonymously.
Whoever you are, wherever you live, from communities to companies.
By phone and online, 24/7, 365 days a year.
We’ve been around since 1988. We started off as the Community Action Trust with a simple phone line. People called our team and they listened; they took information about crime, stripped it of any information that could identify the person making the call, and passed it to the police.
Some things have changed since 1988. We became Crimestoppers in 1995, and we still get lots of phone calls, but most of the information comes in online to our national Contact Centre. We've grown in size and ambition, working with businesses to make communities safer, and carrying out educational campaigns through our regional teams and central office.
Since 2005, we've hosted appeals for suspects on our Most Wanted Gallery. One thing hasn’t changed: whoever contacts us on 0800 555 111 and via our online form with information about crime, is 100% anonymous. Always.
We believe that everyone has the right to feel safe from crime. Whoever you are, wherever you live, from communities to companies.
We don't want your identity. We just want information on a crime.
We’re a charity that gives people the power to speak up to stop crime. By phone and online, 24/7, 365 days a year.
