CRIMESTOPPERS TRUST

The Charity promotes and supports the Crimestoppers scheme. The scheme offers the public a UK wide free telephone number - 0800 555 111 - which enables people who, for whatever reason are unwilling to make direct contact with the police, to provide useful information about crime, while remaining anonymous. From this information intelligence logs are prepared and passed to the police for action.
