"Durham Regional Crime Stoppers does not use telephone call display and does not track identifiers of mobile or internet tipsters.
The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled tipsters remain anonymous. Only a judge issuing a judicial authorization could order a tipster be identified. This has very restricted usage in Canadian law.
Any tipster that missuses Crime Stoppers to further criminal or illegal activity will not be protected by the anonymous guarantee."

How Did Crime Stoppers get started...
What you need to know...
Crime Stoppers was the brainchild of Canadian-born Greg MacAleese, a Detective with the Albuquerque Police Department in New Mexico. In 1976, Greg had run out of leads in a homicide investigation and out of frustration had appealed to the public for assistance. He went so far as to produce the first crime re-enactment, which aired on local television, and was also made available for radio and the press. Anyone providing information regarding this murder was to be eligible for a cash reward.
Within hours of the broadcast, an individual called in valuable information that resulted in the arrest and conviction of two suspects who were sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole.
The growth has been dramatic, with Crime Stoppers programs implemented in more than 1,200 communities worldwide. In November 1982, Calgary became the first Canadian city to start the program, followed by Hamilton in 1983. Hamilton was the first city in Ontario to implement the program and there are currently over 112 programs across Canada with 38 programs in Ontario.
In 1986 the Crime Stoppers Program was started in Durham and became part of the Toronto and Regional Crime Stoppers Boards (TRCSB) made up of Metro Toronto, Peel, York and Durham. Each region had its own board with representation on the TRCSB. In 1989 Durham Regional Crime Stoppers obtained its own Charter and Not For Profit status and resigned from the Toronto and Region Crime Stoppers Board.
The Board
A group of community-minded citizens comprise the volunteer Board of Directors. The Board is responsible for the administration and operation of the Crime Stoppers program in Durham Region.

"School Liaison Officers"
With the challenges students face in our secondary schools today, the Durham Regional Police “School Liaison Officers” are available to educate students, teachers and school administrators about the Durham Regional Crime Stoppers program.
Students have the option to use our program to report illegal activity anonymously to the police and without fear of repercussion from their peers.
CRIME STOPPERS will pay up to $2000 cash for ANY information that leads to an arrest in ANY criminal matter. Callers never need to give their name or testify in court and we do NOT use call display.

Our Story....
In April of 1986, Chief of Police, Jon Jenkins, gathered a select group of civilians and created the not-for-profit organization. The primary goal of Durham Regional Crime Stoppers is to encourage the public to communicate criminal activity. The program shares those tips with the police for investigation while the tipster remains completely anonymous. Should a tip result in an arrest a monetary reward will be issued.
Durham Regional Crime Stoppers would like to give thanks to the community for 35 years of continued support. This milestone is a direct result of donations from the public, corporate sponsors and funds raised from various charity events.
The endless outpouring of anonymous tips, dedication to reducing crime and facilitate justice make Durham Region a safer place to call home.
Since inception, Durham Regional Crime Stoppers has received over 41,000 tips, resulting in 3,984 arrests, $7.5 million in property recovered, $83.4 million in drugs seized and over $625,000 awarded to tipsters for reporting these crimes.
For 35 years, this program has been an outstanding success. This year, Durham Regional Crime Stoppers aims to continue keeping our neighborhoods safe by targeting human trafficking and drug related crimes.
Remember, crime doesn’t pay but Crime Stoppers does
