Crime Stoppers is a completely anonymous program and we are not attached to the RCMP is any way. We work in association with the public, the media, and the police to solve crime and make Revelstoke a safer place to live. Remember we want your information and not your name.

How Does it Work?
A Board of Directors composed of involved citizens establish policy, raise funds and oversee award payments.

This Non-Profit organization is funded by tax-exempt contributions from citizens, businesses and service groups.

Tipsters call a special CRIME STOPPERS telephone number 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) that features no *69 or caller display functions, so calls cannot be identified or traced at any time. Calls are processed by specially trained personnel, who issue code numbers to Tipsters to ensure ANONYMITY.

What Is It?
CRIME STOPPERS is a proven, effective community service program combining the efforts of THE POLICE, THE MEDIA AND THE PUBLIC is solving crime. Because it is completely anonymous, no one will ever know you called Crime Stoppers, you never have to be a witness in Court, and you will never suffer alienation from friends for turning in a criminal. You’ll just have the award and the satisfaction of knowing you did something positive for the community you live in. You may have even prevented another crime in the future! Crime Stoppers is the greatest crime fighter since the advent of fingerprints and even D.N.A. It counteracts the fear and apathy that make the public reluctant to fight crime.

Apathy
