February 15, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our readers will often see the words “ring Crime Stoppers anonymously on 1800-333-000′ in our news reports … but does anyone in Queensland actually do it?<\/p>\n

The answer is an emphatic “yes”.<\/p>\n

The independent community-based volunteer organisation recently announced their crime report statistics for 2017.<\/p>\n

Last year anonymous reports led to 2812 people being arrested across Queensland, 8359 charges being laid and more than $8 million worth of illegal drugs seized.<\/p>\n

For every successful report submitted to Queensland Police Service by Crime Stoppers Queensland in 2017, an average of five charges were laid in response to criminal activity.<\/p>\n

Over half of all contacts made to Crime Stoppers Queensland related to drugs.<\/p>\n

The top two places for arrests and charges were Toowoomba City and Caboolture.<\/p>\n

Crime Stoppers fielded 56,683 phone, online and mobile app reports in 2017, an average of 155 contacts per day.<\/p>\n

The organisation passed on 20,313 pieces of anonymous information to Queensland police.<\/p>\n

Crime Stoppers Qld CEO\u00a0 Trevor O\u2019Hara said the statistics demonstrated how committed Queenslanders were to ensuring the safety of their <\/strong>local communities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWithout the support from the public in 2017, we can assume 2812 individuals would not have been arrested for criminal activity and more than $8 million worth of drugs would still be\u00a0on the streets,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Queenslanders should be proud of the outcomes their reports have achieved.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrime Stoppers Queensland plays a vital role in solving crime and ultimately makes our State a safer place.<\/p>\n

“Intelligence reported from the public assists QPS to prevent drug crimes, locate wanted persons and find missing persons.<\/p>\n

“I encourage the public to continue to embrace the anonymity of the Crime Stoppers program to ensure the ongoing safety of their local communities.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
