About Us
Southern Alberta Crime Stoppers is a charitable, 100% volunteer run, not for profit organization. We work with Law Enforcement, the Media and our Community to reduce crime and its affects within our region. We enable the collection of anonymous TIPS that lead to crime reduction, arrests and the recovery of drugs and property. We are one of four Chapters in Alberta and the only service of its kind in our region.

A safer Lethbridge and Southern Alberta
How it works and how anonymity is assured
What is a good TIP and why does it matter
In 2024, we collected 650 TIPS that led to 50 arrests and $285,000 in recovered drugs, cash and property with 84% of recoveries coming from Lethbridge. Since inception, we have received more than 15,000 TIPS that enabled more than 2,000 arrests and $6,000,000 in recoveries across Southern Alberta. While not part of any law enforcement agency, Southern Alberta Crime Stoppers collaborates with the Lethbridge Police Service, Southern Alberta RCMP and the Blood Tribe Police in our shared effort to reduce crime, criminal activity and the effects of crime on our region.
Anonymous TIPS are submitted online or over the phone through the Crime Stoppers Call Center. TIP information is securely and electronically routed to the law enforcement agency responsible for the area in which the crime was committed through our P3 System. Those TIPS are then followed up on as part of the investigation process. TIPster names or identifying information are never collected. Successful TIP reward information is shared with the TIPster for anonymous payment collection. TIPS are protected and considered confidential throughout the Canadian Judicial System.
In order for a TIP to be successful and useful, it is important that the TIP provides specific and detailed information about a crime or potential crime including who, what where and when:
-
Who: Identify the individuals involved, including names, nicknames or descriptions.
-
What: Describe the type of crime
-
Where: Location of the crime, including city, cross streets or specific address.
-
When: Indicate the date and time of the crime.
-
Details: Provide as many details as possible, as even small details can be crucial.
-
Documentation: If possible, include photos, videos, or audio files.
Southern Alberta Crime Stoppers is proud to partner with the Lethbridge Police Service.

Mission
Our Commitment to Safer Communities
Southern Alberta Crime Stoppers is dedicated to empowering our community to anonymously report crime information with the goal of solving and preventing crimes. Our program is based on the simple principle that for every crime committed, someone other than the criminal has information that would solve it. Crime Stoppers relives the fear of involvement or retaliation by offering anonymity and encourages program utilization through our rewards process.
Our primary objectives are centered on Financial Stability (required for our existence), Enhanced Community Safety (core to our mission) and Collaboration (key to success). We are focused on the understanding that a safer Southern Alberta is good for our citizens (including the vulnerable population), our businesses, our law enforcement partners, our municipal and provincial government and our ability to succeed as individuals, as Albertans and as a region.
The Crime Stoppers organization was founded in Albuquerque, New Mexico1976. Today, there are Crime Stoppers Chapters in every province across Canada and throughout the US.
