Chilliwack & District Crime Stoppers is a non profit community based crime solving program working in conjunction with the media, the public and the RCMP to help make the Fraser Valley a safer place to live. The program encompasses Chilliwack, Agassiz, Hope & Boston Bar and has been operating since 1991.
Information about crime can be submitted with the assurance that no one will ever know who you are. Contact Crime Stoppers toll-free at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Crime Stoppers does not subscribe to call display/call tracing and people submitting tips are never asked to reveal their identity. Instead we provide a confidential code number that is used for all future communications. Chilliwack & District Crime Stoppers pays rewards for information that proves valuable to an investigation. The program has paid out more than $75,000 in rewards.
Chilliwack & District Crime Stoppers have a new website. The URL is www.chilliwackcrimestoppers.ca. Visitors to the site can get information about the program, view our areas’ “Most Wanted” and “Unsolved Crime” pages and much more. Tips can be submitted anonymously via the website. In the next few months people will be able to submit tips via secure text-messaging.
