People who work on the phone lines should be trained in interpersonal skills. I called to report cuckooing, which involved a frail elderly lady with learning disabilities who was living in council sheltered accommodation. Her flat has been taken over by a woman and two young men, and she is sleeping on friends' couches. I was asked why didn't she change the locks? Did I see the drugs on people calling at night? Why didn't she inform the landlord? I was frequently interrupted with so many absurd questions, and then he put the phone down on me. This charity is not fit for its purpose!

This organization is not fit for purpose.I have called them on a few occasions about drugdealing in last 7 years and about 20 years ago about another matter.Call handlers are always aggressive,dismissive,hostile,obstructive,sceptical etc etc and hangup if you wish to officially complain.I said a dealer used to deal from a road known for drugdealing and moved nextdoor to me,but still dealt at the old area.The woman said very accusingly,no they can't be they don't have access to that address.The dealing was not from a house,but near a railway.For all she knew they could still have access to the old address anyway through for example a former flatmate.They are totally unmotivated,zero effort time watchers who are annoyed you interrupted them and forced them to do anything for their pay. Absolutely disgusting travesty of a helpline.

Absolute waste of time. Don't bother with crime stoppers. They don't care or do nothing.

My wife and I witnessed an act of car vandalism by a neighbour, and we thought that Crimesoppers would be the best way of reporting it, so I sent 2 emails and gave them a link in case they needed more information, but I had no further communication from either.
As I was concerned about this incident, I made a complaint to the police, and they confirmed that they had not received any information about the incident from Crimestoppers.
When I made a complaint to Crimestoppers, they responded as follows "because of our guarantee of anonymity, we can neither confirm nor deny whether we received and subsequently disseminated information"
It is fine to use anonymity to protect people giving information, but to use it when they may not have passed information onto the police brings their whole purpose into question.

i called to report a dating site that gay men are using to share intimate photos of their wives with other users. i called crimestoppers. the person i spoke to was interrupting the whole time. it was frustrating. she kept insisting there was nothing she could do because she needed names and addresses....not just a website. i have a physical address for the website....but we didn't get that far because she went on a power trip and hung up. astonishing.

A waste of time and effort - maybe they’ll wait until someone is killed before they stop drunk drivers.

Close it down.

A waste of time, and a waste of money. I cannot believe how much this charity has gone downhill. I was constantly interrupted by a member of staff who wasn't listening to a word I was saying, or interested in the slightest. An utter shambles!
The reviews on TP say it all!

Absolutely useless.. I reported an issue maybe 5 or 6 times and nothing was done as the person is still driving and working without certain things. Totally useless

Such a rubbish service! After a super long waiting, a guy picked up the phone. Rude, unprofessional and useless! Don't waste your time calling them. What they do is they suggest you call 101, 999 or your local council. That's it!

worst experience of my life. 4 people ahead of me. waited 40 minutes just to be randomly cut off. the uk and these charity organisations are a fat joke. where do all the donations go? definitely not to call centres

Used Crime stoppers several times to report drug use crimes in my area anonymously, only for nothing to happen.

The page used to report drug crimes is pathetic, it goes into where you think they are growing, what vehicles they use, what security measures they have but nothing on spots they are dealing or how long they are staying there for.

Normally it's good to use it to get the police to patrol that area more, but I don't think things get passed on as they should.

I believe they are several decades out of date as even the police have a better reporting page for drug use, however Crime Stoppers is the only one I know of that you can do it anonymously without the whole neighbourhood knowing who is reporting it.

Poor, they're not interested. Criminals win again.

kid riding motorbike no helmet only balaclava in a park full of kids, then nearly ran me over. reported to crimestopper, never encountered more arrogant hate fuelled disinterested. they started raising voice at me, asked to speak to manager, they called me beliverant and hung up - 2 separate narcissists -so it is endemic in this "charity". worse than Virgin for customer. service. this "charity" needs to go. all they do is say call the police!

I reported a incident last week 27th February 26, in regards to a father beating his daughter, the same guy been reported many times for drink driving to crimestopers with his wife who are both around 80 years old absolutely nothing gets done. Even with cctv evidence nothing, report it to mhs housing again nothing, so there saying it's OK to assault you're daughter and drink in drive in medway not fit for purpose

Don’t bother! Reported a car parked illegally on the road without a valid MOT three times. The car’s still there! Says it all about the ineffectiveness of this organisation.

They are very responsive after only few hours of report they took action and raid on the tip provided and arrested .however, I dont know if anyone really received the reward from them . It seems fishy.

Had to wait over three quarters of an hour to report a serious crime. Kept being told someone would deal with me shortly! Because I felt so strongly, held on. When I got a live (?) human, it was a woman who sounded so bored and disinterested that I nearly hung up. She just kept drawling 'yeah' in a voice that was so switched off that it was close to rudeness. I went through the story, man's first name, area he lived in, where and how his last name could be verified. She said unless they had a definite name they couldn't take the case! Unbelievable! I shall never, ever, bother with this so-called service again.

Absolutely useless no understanding and they don’t give a shit and they don’t make you feel safe either. No point in having crimestoppers at all.

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.
