Crime Stoppers does not want to know who you are. We do not subscribe to
"Call Display", or "Call Trace", and we do not record phone conversations, or take any
action that may identify you, the caller. When you call, you will be given a
confidential code number. Do not, under any circumstances, give that
number to anyone else. This is the only way we can link you to
your tip information. Depending on the information and crime, you will be
asked to call back at certain intervals to obtain an update on your
information. Since we do not know you, or your phone number, YOU have
to initiate any contact with us.
Do not use a cell phone when calling, as these calls could be monitored by scanners. Use a secure land line number to call
1-800-222-TIPS (8477) |
