Crime Stoppers – The first line of defence in the fight against any crime in the community is you. To prevent  the development of emotional and behavioural problems in our community leading to crime, it is crucial to act early.  Police rely on members of the community to report suspicious or unusual events. Something that may appear small or insignificant could prove vital to a Police investigation aimed at solving crime and preventing people from re-offending.

Crime Stoppers is set up to enable community members to pass information to the police, which they can do  anonymously by reporting any suspicious activity to Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.  Fortunately for ACT residents, Canberra remains one of the safest cities in the world, well below the national average in violent crime.
