Crime Stoppers

Crime Stoppers is a program that allows individuals to report crimes anonymously, including human trafficking. The program can be a useful tool for identifying trafficking activity and providing information to law enforcement. Crime Stoppers programs operate in many cities and countries around the world, and provide a safe and confidential way for individuals to report human trafficking tips without fear of retaliation. Tips provided through Crime Stoppers may also be eligible for rewards, which can incentivize individuals to come forward with information.
