About Honolulu Crime Stoppers

CrimeStoppers Honolulu encourages members of the community to assist local law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime by overcoming the two key elements that inhibit community involvement: fear and apathy.

CrimeStoppers Honolulu provides a secure telephone number and a secure server for Web Tips to encourage citizens in the community to volunteer vital information helpful to law enforcement agencies to fight against crime and to help keep our neighborhoods and educational campuses safe.

Callers can remain anonymous and are eligible to receive a cash reward if the information given leads to an arrest, identification of a criminal perpetrator, recovery of stolen property or seizure of illegal contraband.

CrimeStoppers Honolulu has expanded the program to include affiliated Student CrimeStoppers and Animal CrimeStoppers programs. In these programs calls and information eligible for rewards includes activities occurring on educational campuses that is illegal or disruptive to the educational systems or in the case of Animal CrimeStoppers, any activity that also harms any animal.
