Crime Stoppers

What is Crime Stoppers?

Crime Stoppers is a partnership between the community volunteer organisation Crime Stoppers Queensland Limited and the Queensland Police Service.

Crime Stoppers is a community organisation that believes the general public can help make a difference in preventing and solving crime.

Crime Stoppers was established in Queensland in 1989 and operates throughout Australia.

When should you contact Crime Stoppers?

• If you have information relating to ac rime which has been committed;
• If you suspect that a crime is being planned; or
• To report an address where drug production and/or distribution may be taking place.

Contacting Crime Stoppers

Contact with Crime Stoppers can be made in one of two ways. The first is through a FREE telephone hotline 1800 333 000 through which members of the Queensland community can provide anonymous information about criminal activity. The information received is processed by the Queensland Police Service for investigation.

Callers may remain anonymous – removing the fear of retaliation or becoming involved in court proceedings. Calls are not recorded nor taped in any way. Callers are not identified electronically. The telephone caller ID number is not able to be viewed by Crime Stoppers.

The second way to provide anonymous information is through the Share Crime Information Now section of our website at www.crimestoppers.com.au or e-mail your information to CrimeStoppers.QLD@police.qld.gov.au

If you provide information via the telephone hotline or website, you are given a code number during the initial call or at the end of submitting your online information. Callers can make a second call up to 12 months later, quoting the original code number, in order to be advised of the result of the information provided.

Your anonymity is the key feature of our system

The website offers the same protection to your identity as the telephone hotline with the IP address of the computer being removed by the secure servers.

Will you receive a reward for your information?

Yes. If the information you provide leads to the arrest of the offender/s, then you may be eligible for a reward of up to $1000, depending on the seriousness of the crime solved. This is paid on an anonymous basis if you maintain contact with Crime Stoppers, providing the original code number only.
