Crime Stoppers Inc.

Hawaiʻi Island Crime Stoppers is a volunteer program run by ordinary citizens who want to keep their community safe. You can make an anonymous tip about a Hawaiʻi Island crime by calling Hawaiʻi Island Crime Stoppers at (808) 961-8300. You may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.

When you call in your tip to Hawaiʻi Island Crime Stoppers, you’ll be given a code number to track the status of your case. By calling later and giving your code number, you can find out whether you qualify for a reward.

If the Hawaiʻi Island Crime Stoppers board of directors selects you for a reward, you will be directed to an agreed-upon location to pick up the money. You’ll never be required to provide your name. Hawaiʻi Island Crime Stoppers doesn’t record any calls or subscribe to caller ID.
