About Crime Stoppers International (CSI)

Crime Stoppers is a mechanism, which is separate from the emergency police telephone number or other standard methods of contacting police, which allows a member of the community to provide information about criminal activity anonymously. (In Australia call 1800 333 000 or click, www.crimestoppers.com.au)

This allows a person to provide assistance to the authorities without being directly involved in the investigation process. Law enforcement authorities, especially the police, cannot solve many crimes on their own. Forensic science and investigative skills are necessary, but information from the public is critical.

Crime Stoppers recognizes that someone other than criminals may have information about crime, and was developed to combat the public’s fear of reprisals, public apathy, and a reluctance to get involved.

Since its first chapter was officially formed in Albuquerque New Mexico (USA) in 1976, Crime Stoppers programs worldwide have been responsible for over a million arrests and the seizure of more than US$10 billion in illegal drugs.

Operating in some 26 countries around the world, Crime Stoppers now helps to solve a crime every 14 minutes.

CSI is the peak global body and has its Operational Headquarters in the Netherlands.

CSI has the operational capability to take anonymous tips online (http://www.csiworld.org)

CSI’s operational law enforcement partner is INTERPOL.
