Passing on information to organisations such as Crimestoppers or Fearless can not only help after a crime or incident, but vitally stop something from happening.
This could mean that someone can be saved from being hurt, or helped before they commit a crime and end up in the criminal justice system.
The police care about young people and would always prefer to prevent crime rather than have to detect it as this means something has happened to someone. They never want to see a young person hurt or in trouble if it can be prevented. They will always help if a young person feels threatened, frightened or they think they are at risk of harm.
Fearless is part of the Crimestoppers charity. Both are 100 per cent anonymous and totally independent of the police.
They never ask your name, they cannot trace your call or any electronic device such as your phone or computer and no one ever knows that you’ve passed on information.
Vital information could include:
If you have information or you’re worried about your own safety or the safety of a friend or family member – speak up.
If you don’t want to speak to police then contact either Crimestoppers or Fearless.
You can also find advice about different crime types and read about the possible consequences of getting caught up in the law.
