Crime Stoppers is a program that empowers regular people to fight back against crime.

North Okanagan Shuswap Crime Stoppers (NOKS) is a not for profit crime fighting organization that relies on the support of the community and the generosity of supporters to continue our vital work.

Crime Stoppers is a program that empowers regular people to fight back against crime. Anyone can submit an anonymous tip by using our tips line or website; and if that tip leads to an arrest the individual will receive a reward for their efforts.

We don't need your name - we don't ask for ID. 100% anonymous.

Crime Stoppers operates in over 20 countries worldwide and since the very first program started in 1976, we have become the number one community based crime solving organization in the world. Our local Crime Stoppers has been stopping, solving and preventing crime in the North Okanagan Shuswap for over 28 years! Our vision is to reduce crime and make the North Okanagan Shuswap area a safer place.
