About Our Program

Crime Stoppers of Simcoe Dufferin Muskoka is a civilian, volunteer based crime fighting program which provides a way for the public to anonymously report information about crimes and criminals to the police. The information is given anonymously to Crime Stoppers who in turn send the information to the police. Crime Stoppers' tipsters never have to identify themselves, never have to attend court, and may be eligible for cash rewards.

Crime Stoppers of Simcoe Dufferin Muskoka services a vast geographical area, encompassing 110,217 square kilometers and 534,203 residents. Our communities are varied, ranging from a large city, to towns, hamlets, and rural areas.

Our mandate is to assist the Police in solving crimes making our communities and schools safer. Our program encourages members of the community to call anonymously with information that assists in solving crimes that have been committed, are being committed or are about to be committed including information relating to the whereabouts of wanted persons, illegal drugs and stolen property, human trafficking, elder abuse and more. Crimes range from minor thefts to murders.

We offer cash rewards to anonymous callers when their information assists the police in recovering stolen property, seizing illegal drugs or when an arrest is made.

The program develops, promotes and encourages a high standard of cooperation between the community, the news media and the police to combat crime in our communities and schools and contributes to the security of persons and property by assisting law enforcement agencies in the investigation and prevention of crime.
