What do we mean by anonymity?
Between April 2025 and March 2026, we sent police forces over 268,000 anonymous crime reports - that's an average of 734 per day and 30 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.
