How the Crime Stoppers Reward System Works

How the Crime Stoppers Reward System Works

Crime Stoppers offers rewards of up to $1,000 for valuable information that leads to an arrest or the successful resolution of a case. These rewards are available to anyone who provides a tip, regardless of how big or small, that helps law enforcement officials solve a crime or prevent criminal activity.

The final reward amount is determined by a committee within Crime Stoppers, often in consultation with police. This committee reviews the information provided and the impact it had on the investigation to determine the appropriate reward amount.

Here’s how it works:

1. Submit Your Information Anonymously: When you contact Crime Stoppers, your anonymity is guaranteed. When you submit a tip you will be assigned a unique code or reference number. Essentially this unique reference number becomes your identity that can be quoted if you want to follow up to see whether you are eligible for a reward.
2. Information Assessment and Investigation: After you submit your tip, it is assessed by a team of professionals who work closely with law enforcement agencies. If your information is valuable and actionable, it will be forwarded to the appropriate police service or law enforcement agency for further investigation.
3. The Reward Process: If your tip results in an arrest or the successful resolution of a case, you could be eligible for a reward. Once you recontact us with your reference number, we will provide detailed instructions on how to claim your reward anonymously through a leading banking institution.

Larger Rewards for High-Profile Cases

For certain high-profile or serious cases, larger rewards may be offered to encourage individuals who might have crucial information to come forward. In these instances, the reward amount can be significantly higher, reflecting the gravity of the crime and the importance of solving the case.

Staying Anonymous and Safe

Your safety and anonymity are our top priorities. When you contact Crime Stoppers, your identity is never revealed. We don’t track IP addresses for online reports, and our hotline does not have caller ID or record calls. Your unique reference number becomes your only identifier, allowing you to follow up on your tip without ever disclosing your identity.

How to Report Suspicious Activity

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts. By reporting suspicious activities, you provide valuable information that helps law enforcement prevent and solve crimes. Even small details can be the missing piece in a larger puzzle.

Your actions can prevent crimes, protect your neighbours, and contribute to the safety of Brisbane. Remember, being a Local Legend isn’t just about what you see, but what you do with that information. They’ll never know it was you. Together, we can keep the city safe for everyone.
