Revelstoke Crime Stoppers is a non-profit, community-based program that works with the police, the news media and the public to solve crime and to help make our community a safer place in which to live. Crime Stoppers provides community members with a way to anonymously supply police with information about a crime or potential crime.

Crime Stoppers takes information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Calls are not recorded and Crime Stoppers does not use call display, guaranteeing that your identity remains anonymous.

You will never be asked to identify yourself or testify in court.
