Anonymous Tips
If you wish to remain anonymous, you can submit a tip online or by calling Larimer County Crime Stoppers at 970-221-6868. This is a secure and confidential process designed to protect your identity while helping law enforcement solve crimes.
If you choose to call in a tip, your call will be received by the Larimer County Crime Stoppers tips line at 970-221-6868. This phone is a stand-alone instrument that does not have caller ID capabilities, and conversations are not recorded. Once your information is received, the Crime Stoppers Coordinator fills out a tip information form, conducts initial inquiries, and forwards the tip to the appropriate law enforcement agency. At the end of the call, you will be given a reference number - be sure to record and keep this number safe, as it will be needed to follow up on your tip or collect a reward if applicable.
If you prefer to submit your tip online, Crime Stoppers also offers a completely secure and anonymous Web Tip option. This system includes Two-Way Dialog capabilities, allowing you to return and add more information or respond to questions from the coordinator - all without revealing your identity. This encrypted interface ensures that your tip and communication remain confidential.
​
For both phone and online tips, if your information leads to an arrest, you may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $500. To claim a reward, you must monitor the status of your tip using the unique code or number you received - keep this information confidential to prevent misuse.
