January is Crime Stoppers Awareness Month, and Peel Regional Police is reminding residents that reporting crime does not require revealing your identity.
Crime Stoppers provides a safe, anonymous way for the public to share information that can help police investigate and solve crimes, especially in situations involving intimidation, fear of retaliation, or personal risk.
How Crime Stoppers Works
When a tip is submitted to Peel Crime Stoppers, it is forwarded to the appropriate police service. Investigators review the information, act on it where possible, and provide case updates to Crime Stoppers.
At every stage, confidentiality is protected. People providing tips are never required to provide their name or personal details.
Crime Stoppers operates as a partnership between the public, police, and media, strengthening community safety through shared responsibility.
How to Submit an Anonymous Tip
Residents can submit information safely and anonymously by:
- Calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)
- Submitting a tip online through Peel Crime Stoppers
Crime Stoppers should not be used for emergencies. In urgent situations, residents are advised to call 9-1-1 immediately.
