Crimestoppers

Crime Stoppers is a completely anonymous community service program not attached to the RCMP in any way. Work is done in association with the public, media, and police to solve crime and make Revelstoke a safer place to live. Information is given anonymously – participants will never have to be a witness in Court, or suffer alienation from friends or family. Cash rewards are offered for information leading to an arrest or the solution of a crime. Anonymity is guaranteed. Local volunteers are always needed.
