Crimestoppers UK Reviews

Opened a case, and a keep in contact account. Saved login in password manager. Worked. 1 day later... "Your login attempt was unsuccessful". And don't respond that i should have written down the login info because i did. This is a technical issue with your website or a staff issue.

I have reported something and created an account to wait for updates. The account didn’t work anymore the following day as it says that the password was wrong. So many users are having the same issue I can read here, so I don’t understand, why don’t they fix this problem?

It would be also worth to know if the report sent is actually sent to law enforcement or discarded directly from Crimestopper volunteers for any reason… at least people won’t write here that nothing is being done by YOU, if they know that you have sent it to the police… since the responsibility of “doing nothing” won’t be in you…

Useless. Made report and 1 day later can no longer log in.

Nothing happens. I've been giving information about a Nazi who is threatening to hurt people, owns weapons and he is ongoing. Nothing has been done, and he is continuing to do that.

Utterly pointless. I have been told the Police are too busy to bother with any of the information submitted. I’ve been giving intel on a drug dealer for a year now and still nothing has been done.

The police asked for information about the incident. I gave information that may be related to the incident. A couple of hours later I got this: "Your login attempt was not successful"

An ineffectual service for genuine conscientious people. You might as well ring the police direct. But you have to get yourself mentally ready for that. I understand why they have such a poor rating.

Absolute waste of time. Reported an assault, and opted to keep in touch with them & then tried to log in into the portal & the repsonse was "Your login attempt was not successful".

What a waste of time, why even bother to volunteer to do this service. Tried to report police corruption and they can do nothing, they can only report this to the police who Im making a report against and as expected get no reply. They even ask for a donation on their website, donation for what ? Not even worth one star.

It is the Police Standards Department that are also corrupt, they refuse to reply to my accusations and my extremely good evidence, no Hampshire police department will reply, all corrupt with no one to report them too, this is why I went to crime stoppers and you can do nothing, the Police Standards Department have no standards, they all stick together covering up each other’s crime. Please allow me to send my extremely good evidence to crime stoppers, you will probably not allow me, bloody disgusting. My evidence will take no longer than one hour for you to look and listen to as most of my evidence consists of voice recordings. I have the name and evidence against the man behind all this corruption which is why I get NO replies

The website has drop down menus that do not cover all crimes
I had a serious crime to report which started in 2022 but the date drop down menu does not allow for the date to be put in manually. Also other drop down menus are not giving the correct information

I have just read the answer to my review. The fact that it has taken SIX months to receive any reaction from the police says it all about the standards our police force gives its citizens.
With regard to the telephone number I have a hearing defect so my ability to use a telephone is extremely limited. So where to those with disabilities go?

Absolute waste of time. Reported a guy for having guns & knives!! The unfriendly arrogant, couldn’t care less moron on the phone, didn’t even ask for the guys address. Maybe when someone is shot or stabbed by this guy something will be done, or maybe not!!!

Got through quickly but the woman was very off hand from the start, to the point that I just hung up before I actually got to speak about why i had called. To give me such a bad vibe for calling is just unacceptable! Even as a volunteer she should be mindful that people ring in extremely vulnerable situations or people with serious information to give. Come on Crimestoppers are you actually regulating these calls? This lady has let you down.

If I could give it zero I would absolute waste of time!! Sent from all the information about a person how is under the influence of drugs at work times there are there reg etc waste of time!

Complete waste of time. They do not make an effort to understand the cases and require a burden of evidence so high it becomes impossible to demonstrate anything. I don't see what purpose this organisation serves.

Date of experience: 11 April 2024

Very unfair reviews here. Over 90% of their calls are from business competitor, angry ex wives and malicious calls. They have an excellent system to vet these and many reviews here claiming they won’t take action as there is no evidence. We do not live in a dystopia and crime needs evidence

Twice now I’ve reported a situation and opted for the keep in contact option where they give you a username. Both times I was unable to log in with this username and my password just a couple of days later to check if there were any questions or updates.

-The Anti-Corruption line for the Met police is a con. They take the bare minimum details and then say someone will contact you in 6 days. They never do. Mainly because the phone back group is run by the Met so 1. They lie that this service is independent and 2. They arent interested in investigating corruption in the Met

Waste of time money.
Who are these clowns! Make the Police look good and that's saying something. Unhelpful, unfriendly, uncooperative.

If they ceased to exist nobody would miss them.

Complete waste of time. I reported a genuine situation to the Crimestoppers which was happening every Thursday evening and involved a child. I opted to use the anonymous login option but within 12 hours was being told my login was unsuccessful. Strikes me that either they are blocking my IP address which they claim they don't have access to or they are unwilling to challenge the person at this address and have therefore dismissed my genuine concerns outright. DON'T BOTHER WITH CRIMESTOPPERS.
