How It Works
A Simple Approach to Sharing Useful Information
When reporting information about criminal activity, focus on accurate details that may help authorities better understand what happened.

Share Accurate Information
Provide information you genuinely know or observed. Avoid exaggerating details or making assumptions about people involved.
03
Let Authorities Investigate
Never attempt to confront a suspected offender or conduct your own investigation. Leave investigation and enforcement to trained authorities.
Information That Matters
What Kind of Information Can Be Reported?
Useful information can involve many different types of criminal or suspicious activity. The most valuable reports are specific, factual and based on genuine observations.
Theft & Burglary
Information about stolen property, home break-ins, suspicious vehicles or individuals connected with theft.
Violence
Information relating to assaults, threats, violent incidents or individuals who may present a danger to others.
Illegal Activity
Information concerning suspected illegal activity that may affect the safety of individuals or local communities.
Fraud & Scams
Information about suspected fraud, financial scams, identity theft or deceptive activity affecting residents and businesses.
Suspicious Behaviour
Unusual activity that appears connected to a potential crime may be worth sharing when supported by clear observations.
Wanted or Missing Persons
Relevant information about the possible location or recent activity of a person being sought by authorities.
Community Impact
Why Community Information Matters
Police and public safety organisations cannot observe every situation. Responsible information from residents can provide valuable context and help build a clearer picture of criminal activity.
Help Prevent Future Incidents
Timely information may help authorities identify developing risks and understand patterns of criminal behaviour.
Provide Potential Leads
Details about vehicles, locations, times, people or events can sometimes provide useful investigative leads.
Build Safer Communities
Public awareness helps residents recognise potential risks while encouraging responsible action instead of confrontation.
Strengthen Community Trust
Safer communities are supported by communication and cooperation between residents, organisations and public safety authorities.
Important Safety Information
Never Put Yourself in Danger to Collect Information
Your personal safety should always come first. Do not approach, follow or confront anyone simply to obtain additional information for a report.
In an immediate emergency, contact emergency services or the police directly.
Crime Stoppers-style reporting channels are intended for providing information and should not replace emergency services when someone is in immediate danger or a crime is actively taking place.
