You don’t need superpowers or high-tech gadgets to protect your community. In fact, the most effective heroes are ordinary people who choose to do the right thing in the right way. That means observing, recording, and reporting—not intervening or putting yourself at risk.
This is where Crime Stoppers Victoria comes in. We provide a safe, anonymous way to report suspicious or criminal activity, so law enforcement can take appropriate action.
You can make a difference—without putting yourself or others in danger.
Wonder Woman may be a warrior, but even she fights with wisdom, strategy, and compassion—not just strength. Unlike Wonder Woman and her Amazonian powers, we don’t have magical tools or superhuman abilities, so leave the fighting to the heroes and the authorities.
What You Can Do Instead:
- Stay alert: Use your powers of observation to notice unusual behaviour, break-ins, vandalism, or suspicious activity.
- Don’t confront: Leave the battles to the Amazons. Your role is to watch, not intervene.
- Be safe: Keep your distance and never put yourself in harm’s way.
Wonder-Tip: A true hero doesn’t need to make headlines—just a quiet call to Crime Stoppers.
You don’t need telepathy to sense something’s wrong in your neighbourhood. Use logic, instincts, and community awareness to know when it’s time to report something.
What’s Worth Reporting?
- Suspicious vehicles or people loitering repeatedly.
- People peering into homes or cars.
- Strange behaviour near schools, parks, or public places.
- Drug activity, illegal dumping, graffiti in progress.
X-Tip: If something feels “off,” it probably is. Trust your instincts—but don’t act on emotion. Report it instead.

Groot might stick to “I am Groot,” but when it comes to reporting to Crime Stoppers, you might need more than three words. Be as detailed as you can, use your words to describe exactly what you saw.
What You Should Report:
- When: Date and time of the incident.
- Where: Exact location—street name, landmarks, as accurate as you can.
- Who: Descriptions of individuals involved—clothing, height, build, tattoos, or vehicles.
- What: What happened? Theft, vandalism, drug activity, etc.
- Note: Even if you only have a few words to share, it’s still worth reporting to Crime Stoppers. Your information—no matter how small—could be the missing piece that helps solve an investigation.
Groot Advice: Use your phone’s notes app or a voice memo to quickly jot things down while you’re on the move. No need to branch out into vigilantism—leaf the action to the pros.
Use your spider sense! Spider-Man may move fast, but even he knows some situations call for immediate help from professionals.
When to Call 000:
- A crime is in progress (break-in, assault, robbery, etc.)
- Someone is hurt or in danger
- Fires, medical emergencies, or car crashes
- You or someone else feels threatened or unsafe
Spidey Sense: Stay calm, speak clearly, and give as much information as possible: location, what’s happening, and who’s involved. Help will be dispatched right away.
Don’t call 000 for non-urgent situations or to report past crimes—that’s what Crime Stoppers is for!
You don’t have to leap into danger to protect your community. True courage is about making wise, responsible choices. By reporting what you see, you’re helping the community stay safe—one report at a time.
So, the next time something suspicious catches your eye, don’t step in—speak up.
Report to Crime Stoppers Victoria. Stay safe. Stay super.
