Anonymity Disclosure
By providing information that Crime Stoppers will share with law enforcement agencies, you are providing an important and valuable public service. We understand that disclosure of your identity might put you at risk. Reporting anonymously means that you do not provide Crime Stoppers with your name, address, phone number, or any other information that could identify you. Where you choose to report anonymously, we do everything we can to protect your anonymity. For more information, see our FAQs.
If you choose to provide information on an anonymous basis, Crime Stoppers will keep your identity confidential and will not disclose it to any person or organisation except in exceptional circumstances such as:
- Crime Stoppers is required by law or by court* order to disclose specific information; or
- You have given your consent for us to disclose that information.
Protecting your identity is extremely important to Crime Stoppers.
