How can we start a new local committee?

There first must be citizen interest and support from the local police in your city or area. You must recruit a minimum number of members, including a president, vice-president, treasurer, secretary, as well as a few administrators. The provincial committee will assist you with the essential details to start up your local committee.

Who can become a committee member?

All citizens 18 years of age or older who believe in the cause and pass the background check. Note that Crime Stoppers is a citizen organization so police officers may not become a member of Crime Stoppers. However, a police officer may sit on a committee in an advisory role.

How can I claim a reward?

When you make your initial call, you will be assigned a caller number. It is very important to keep this number. If charges are brought upon the suspect, the caller must contact Crime Stoppers and reference the caller number that was initially assigned. The information will be forwarded to the Board of Directors for approval.

When can I obtain a reward?

When the information received has contributed to laying of charges against a suspect.
