Crimestoppers UK Reviews 

Completely useless charity. I called to report a crime, and they told me to just call the police. When I explained the police wasn’t answering, they told me to call the emergency number — that’s it. What’s the point of this charity if all they do is redirect people to the police? What exactly do they do besides collecting government funding? They’re supposed to help report crimes, but in reality, they do nothing and the staff were rude and unhelpful

A complete waste of time, no response or any other contact, I posted all the info o my for them to shut the case down. My question is, what's the point in crime stoppers? They don't care or bother whatever happens, waste of time on my behalf.

Wish i read reviews before calling them. What’s the point of this ? I was rushed to hang up. No help whatsoever, heard laughter and many people in the background. Feels like they are there for the gossip and to mock people. That’s actually very concerning and incredibly disrespectful and makes it worse for mental health

First time using them and what an appalling service. Some bloke on the end of the line who kept interrupting me trying to report my issue and then wouldn’t do anything with the info and told me to call 101!

Tried to report an incident of drug dealing from a car - partial VRM obtained: letter (three spaces unknown) then three letters with a colour, make and model of car obtained on a road which is in a small market town. Full comprehensive description of single dealing occupant available. Was informed that unless I could provide full VRM and name of dealing driver they couldn't take a report. As an ex detective constable with a major UK police force there was more than sufficient detail to be passed on: the call handler simply WASN'T INTERESTED!!!!! Seems this organisation is as disinterested as policing in general!

This charity is a scam. They are not genuinely interested in helping. Don't waste your time calling them, believing you can contribute to society by reporting crime. Their focus will not be on addressing crime; instead, they will try to discourage you from reporting it.

Terrible just has corrupt has the police

rubbish service ....not fit for purpose, reported a crime .after a week still going on . nobody looking into it

Phoned up crimestoppers. Was on the phone waiting patiently. Finally, got through after 18 minutes. Reporting a vehicle which didn't have a valid mot! They weren't interested in helping report it, unless I had a a name and address! Even if you've got the vehicle registration number they weren't interested. So my advice is don't bother with crimestoppers! A waste of space. Won't do anything about it. Ridiculous!

1.7 stars as at 04 Apr 25 says it all don't you think. I have reported incidence of a single repeated breaking of the law and received no follow-up response/questions. The reports identified credible risk to life and this 'charity' are asleep.
You may suggest I call the emergency numbers. This is not possible as explained in my submission. I needed anonymity and previous attempts put in place by the police to enable anonymous reporting have all ceased, or available options are not clear. That is why I attempted to make a difference through Crimestoppers UK. Cutbacks I guess.

I stand and watch a dealer on a pushbike ride up to 3 tossers waiting on a prominent corner, he takes out three wraps, they walk off, he rides in a different direction, i call the police telling them what I see, and about to give a full description, it continues just like this,
'sorry, can i stop you there?, you need to ring crimestoppers who will be able to sort this for you, thank you'.
Hello, crimestoppers, Hi, i have just seen a drug deal and have a very goos description of the offenders, the guy on the bike...'Sorry sir, if you don't have a car reg or house number/address, you need to ring the police....... Great eh? no wonder were screwed!

Utter rubbish. Absolute disgrace of a service. I gave very detailed, decent proper information regarding drug dealing and I’m not just talking someone who’s looked out the window a few times. The info I provided was personal. potentially I’m putting myself at risk. I didn’t want to go through my local police force as I needed to remain anonymous for my safety and due to the fact I don’t want the hassle. I submit said info, request a reward code, wait months on end, mess around ringing them twice to be told to ring back, when I ring back a long time later, nothing, absolutely nothing. The call operator was not at all interested. Apparently the police have chosen ‘not to give a reward on this occasion’. Not even a thank you. By reading other reviews there is no reward, ever. Shambles of a company. And I know for a fact, the dealing has not been dealt with and is still continuing (granted the police may be investigating, from a distance) but ultimately the info I gave was more than sufficient for them to easily catch them in the act and be able to build a decent case.

useful way of reporting crimes anonymously. They are a charity that pass info to the police

England is wrecked and out of control, organised and encouraged, by:-
1. Governments.
2. County Councils.
3. Police.
4. All the Courts and their "systems".
5. Drugs.
6. Alcohol.
7. Everyone's vile and toxic behaviour.
8. Everyone's obsession with money, greed and selfeness.
9. No self respect, let alone love.
10. Jealously.
11. And this list goes on and on.

Bottom line - the vast majority of human beings are toxic and rotten to the core.

Thankfully, that does not include me !!!!

Good evening.

I'm a gay man who was sexually assaulted around 2-3 times as a teenager by people I trusted. Woke up from a terrifying dream about one of the incidents, to find crime stoppers sending me targeted adverts about "how do you target women". Showed me all I need to know. Just because I'm male, I must be a evil person who targets women, right? Deffinetly not the victim of SA by women, right? Disgusting sexist attitude by so called crime stoppers...

Useless. Made report and 1 day later can no longer log in.

Opened a case, and a keep in contact account. Saved login in password manager. Worked. 1 day later... "Your login attempt was unsuccessful". And don't respond that i should have written down the login info because i did. This is a technical issue with your website or a staff issue.

I have reported something and created an account to wait for updates. The account didn’t work anymore the following day as it says that the password was wrong. So many users are having the same issue I can read here, so I don’t understand, why don’t they fix this problem?

It would be also worth to know if the report sent is actually sent to law enforcement or discarded directly from Crimestopper volunteers for any reason… at least people won’t write here that nothing is being done by YOU, if they know that you have sent it to the police… since the responsibility of “doing nothing” won’t be in you…

The police asked for information about the incident. I gave information that may be related to the incident. A couple of hours later I got this: "Your login attempt was not successful"

Nothing happens. I've been giving information about a Nazi who is threatening to hurt people, owns weapons and he is ongoing. Nothing has been done, and he is continuing to do that.
