What is Crimestoppers?
• ONLY charity in UK helping to solve crimes and find criminals
• 24/7 call bureau 0800 555 111 and website www.crimestoppers-uk.org
• For people who don't want to go to Police to report crime – they can give us information about crime anonymously which we pass onto Police
• Not replacement for Police and not for 999 situations
• Not part Police or a Government – not linked to Crimewatch
• UK, Founded 25 years ago by Lord Ashcroft - In USA, 1976
It works!
