What we can offer you
There are many different partnerships aiming to reduce and prevent crime, including Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships, Community Safety Partnerships, etc. Whatever your group, Crimestoppers wants to work with you and can help.
If you are looking to reduce crime and the fear of crime in your area, there's an effective way which will not cost you any money: Include Crimestoppers logo and anonymous phone number, 0800 555 111, on your promotional materials and within your Community Safety Strategy.
However, we can also work with you to develop unique campaigns that specifically address the crime issues that your area faces. Projects are developed with you to help achieve your targets and are managed by a dedicated member of the Crimestoppers team. All projects are evaluated in order to assess their impact. Calls and resulting arrests through Crimestoppers are often a key indicator of success.
Crimestoppers makes a significant difference to crime and the fear of crime. Criminals often intimidate and frighten people into staying silent. There are many reasons why people feel they cannot ring the police with information, so Crimestoppers provides a safe way to pass on information without getting personally involved.
For many people, we provide the only means of doing something positive about crime in their communities without having to worry about the potential consequences.
