To provide a community-based program that promotes public participation through anonymity, and effectively unites the efforts of the Public, Media, and Law Enforcement to solve crimes and foster safer, crime-free communities.
Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers
Is a community program that successfully brings together the public, the media, and the police to solve crime and build safer communities. By offering cash rewards and guaranteeing complete anonymity, Crime Stoppers has removed two of the biggest barriers that often prevent the public from coming forward: fear and apathy.
Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers was established in 1987 with the goal of extending the benefits of the Crime Stoppers program to all Rural Municipalities, Cities, Towns, and Villages in the province that previously lacked access to such a service. The program empowers residents to make their communities safer by contributing anonymously to crime-solving efforts. This has led to an increased number of crimes solved and stolen property recovered.
Beyond solving cases, Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers sends a strong preventative message: We, the residents of Saskatchewan, will not turn a blind eye to crime.
The Media
The shared goal of combating local crime strengthens relationships between the community, the media, and the police. Through the Crime Stoppers program, the media plays a proactive role — not only reporting on criminal activity but also helping to solve it.
The Police
Crime in our communities demands innovative and effective programs that generate valuable information for law enforcement agencies. By encouraging greater public participation, police are better equipped to combat criminal activity.
Crime Stoppers stands as one of the most successful and effective examples of community-based policing, bridging the gap between the public and law enforcement to create safer communities.
Who Administers The Program?
Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors responsible for setting policy, raising funds, promoting the program, overseeing the payment of rewards, and ensuring the program is administered effectively and efficiently. The Board is made up of dedicated individuals from across Saskatchewan, selected for their professional expertise and their strong commitment to the values and mission of Crime Stoppers.

The Crime Stoppers Promise of Anonymity: What Tipsters Need to Know
When you contact Crime Stoppers, you are providing a valuable public service by sharing information that may assist law enforcement in solving or preventing crime. We recognize that revealing your identity could place you at risk, which is why anonymity is at the core of our program.
We are committed to doing everything we can to protect your identity. However, there are rare and specific circumstances in which anonymity may be legally challenged or limited.
Exceptions to Anonymity:
Misuse of the Program; If a tip is submitted with the intent of furthering criminal activity or interfering with the administration of justice, anonymity may be challenged (example: attempting to falsely accuse someone).
Establishing Innocence; If there is evidence that disclosing part or all of a tip is necessary to prove someone’s innocence, a court may require disclosure.
Voluntary Waiver of Anonymity; A tipster who has received independent legal advice may choose to waive their right to anonymity.
Sexually Explicit Content; Do not submit sexually explicit images or videos. These will be forwarded directly to law enforcement, and your anonymity cannot be guaranteed. Such submissions are not considered Crime Stoppers tips and will not be eligible for rewards.
For a fuller explanation of these principles, please assist us in helping you by reading and understanding the “Tipster Information” on the Canadian Crime Stoppers Association website: canadiancrimestoppers.org/information.
