Devon and Cornwall

Welcome to Devon and Cornwall Crimestoppers.

Devon and Cornwall Crimestoppers is dedicated to fighting crime across Devon and Cornwall.

Devon and Cornwall Crimestoppers works for you, your family and your community. Calling Crimestoppers is anonymous. We only want to know what you know about crime, not who you are.

We work on a number of campaigns across the region, to address crimes specific to your local areas. Recently, we've been doing presentations about Crimestoppers to schools suffering with high crime rates, combining this with introducing the children to their local heroes - the Plymouth Raiders basketball team!

We rely on the work of our very dedicated volunteers and the donations of local businesses to help make your communities across Devon and Cornwall safer. Together, we've seen some fantastic improvements. If you'd like to volunteer for Devon and Cornwall Crimestoppers, please fill out our Volunteer Enquiry Form.

In Devon and Cornwall over the last year, as a result of anonymous phone calls to Crimestoppers, we have:

• Recovered £32,865 worth of stolen property and vehicles
• Seized £9,322 worth of illegal drugs
• Received 23 anonymous phone calls about gun crime

Name that tag
We've been promoting 'Tag on a tagger' across Devon and Cornwall to find criminals who have been spoiling their communities with graffiti. One of our Plymouth posters led to an individual admitting to over 40 offences.

Community and basketball in high-crime schools
Together with the Plymouth Raiders basketball team, we've been visiting high-crime schools to teach children about taking responsibility for their community. We've reached over 1,000 young people and seen a massive reduction in crime!
