What do we mean by anonymity?

Between April 2023 and March 2024, we sent police forces over 209,000 anonymous crime reports - that's 573 per day and 24 per hour... but what do we mean by anonymous? 

You may be thinking about using our service, or just want a deeper understanding of our anonymity promise. We've put together these short videos to explain the steps we take to ensure you remain 100% anonymous. Always. 

There may be times when information received by Crimestoppers is passed on to our trusted partner organisations. Crimestoppers will only share this information to help keep communities and workplaces safe.
