Core offering

Crime Stoppers of Halton operates an anonymous crime tip reporting service available to the public through a toll-free 24/7 phone line (1-800-222-TIPS) and a secure online WebTip portal, with tips forwarded to investigative police agencies and cash rewards of up to $2,000 paid for information leading to arrests. The organization also runs a Community Watch program that delivers neighbourhood safety alerts, free window clings/lawn signs, CamSafe camera registration, and security-partner discounts to enrolled residents.

Product overview

Crime Stoppers of Halton is a registered charitable non-profit organization that operates a single unified service — an anonymous tip reporting system — through two primary channels: a toll-free phone tip line (1-800-222-TIPS/8477) and a secure online WebTip portal powered by Anderson Software. Tipsters are guaranteed 100% anonymity, never required to identify themselves or go to court, and may earn cash rewards of up to $2,000 per valid tip. The organization supplements its core reporting service with an affiliated Community Watch program, which offers registered residents safety resources, neighbourhood newsletters, and discounts through security partners. All other programs (Shred Event, Family Car Show, Human Trafficking Campaign, Linking Intersections, Crime Stoppers Month, Golf Event) are community awareness and fundraising initiatives rather than distinct product lines.
