NSW Police encourage community to call in “tips” to Crime Stoppers
Crime Stoppers is helping NSW Police to make a significant impact on crime across the state.
More than $13 million worth of drugs and over 305 arrests were obtained in 2024, due to information provided directly by the community.
Across 2024, NSW Crime Stoppers received over 93,000 tips equating to around 250 contacts each day (phone and online), helping Police enforce the law and prosecutors to ensure people are held accountable for their crimes, with most reports now made online.
Crime Stoppers has been assisting in the safety and security of communities across the state for more than 35 years.
While fear and uncertainty are some of the major barriers to providing information, Crime Stoppers is reminding the community that information is provided in confidence.
Orana Mid-Western Police Superintendent, Timothy Chinn, said it is important that the community reports relevant information to Crime Stoppers helping police solve crime.
“With the community’s support, Crime Stoppers has provided significant information to local police over the last few years enabling authorities to address many crimes,” he said.
“It doesn’t matter how big or small that information is: every piece helps. Working as a team creates a safer community for everyone.”
