How can you guarantee anonymity?

We Know the guarantee of anonymity that comes with contacting Crime Stoppers is vitally important to you.  It removes the fear and makes it easier to come forward, breaking the silence around criminal activities in your community.

Crime Stoppers can offer anonymity to its callers because of a legal rule of evidence which says police do not have to reveal information which might identify a person who supplies them with information concerning criminal activity. In February of 1997 the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously decided that callers to Crime Stoppers programs were entitled to the protection of this privilege.
