“We advocate our residents contact Crime Stoppers to report people suspected of dealing or supplying illicit drugs because it is a safe and secure way to share information about drug activity to police,” he said.

“Crime Stoppers takes measures to ensure the anonymity of people making reports, no called ID appears on the call centre telephones and calls are never recorded.

“If making an online report, Crime Stoppers does not have access to personal data because the IP address, details of the computer being used or your location is never recorded, and submitted reports pass through a minimum of three different global servers, each providing a separate layer of encryption before a report reaches its destination.

“What is being transmitted cannot be intercepted, modified or read and the source of the document received cannot be backtracked.”
