How To Contact Crime Stoppers
Nanaimo Crime Stoppers will pay a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest of a criminal, recovery of stolen property, or seizure of illegal drugs or guns.
If you see a crime in progress, call 911 or the non-emergency line of the police jurisdiction in your area, as Crime Stoppers is not monitored 24/7. Additionally, for reports of possible impaired driving, call 911. When reporting, be prepared to provide to the police dispatcher, the license plate number of the vehicle, last known direction of travel, description of the vehicle and any other descriptors that may be helpful to police.
Disclaimer: By providing information that Crime Stoppers will share with law enforcement agencies, you are providing an important and valuable public service. We understand that disclosure of your identity might put you at risk. We do everything we can to protect your anonymity. However, that anonymity may be open to challenge in the following situations:
- A call to Crime Stoppers made with the intention of “furthering criminal activity or interfering with the administration of justice”. A party who is guilty of a crime cannot use Crime Stoppers to try to divert the blame onto someone else. Crime Stoppers cannot be used to try to “frame” an innocent person.
- There is evidence that disclosure of some or all of a tip is necessary to establish someone’s innocence.
- A tipster having received the benefit of full legal advice may, for his or her own reasons, elect to waive the privilege.
For a more comprehensive explanation of these principles, help us to help you by reading and understanding the “Tipster Information” on the Canadian Crime Stoppers website.
