Crime Stoppers Global Solutions TCI Tips App to Anonymously Report Crimes Worldwide

Our TCI Tips App

The in-language app version is very similar in function to the English language version but has a generic app name and logo so as not to draw attention to it on a tipster’s phone if viewed by others. The tipster uses an anonymous user ID to initiate the app, which is a means for Crime Stoppers Global Solutions (CSGS) and the tipster to safely ensure that the communication is occurring between the right parties.

The Concept Works

  • Download the app, available on Apple and Android devices.
  • Citizens provide anonymous tips from their wireless device.
  • CSGS forwards ALL tips to trusted law enforcement in country jurisdictions for follow-up investigation.
  • Tipsters receive a monetary reward if an arrest and charges are brought.
  • Safe and anonymous, a tipster’s identity is not known to us or ever revealed.

Join Our Fight Against Child Exploitation

Crime Stoppers Global Solutions (CSGS) created this 3-minute PSA to help drive awareness of the enormity and scope of human trafficking. Please watch and share this video, hosted on our YouTube channel. Knowing about the problem is the first step; reporting it anonymously is the second. Together, we can solve this heinous problem.

The Global Age of Crime Fighting

Over the decades, the public shock created by certain crimes has served to drive everything from legislation to innovation. The saying “if it bleeds, it leads” evolved as the unwritten media rule and driver for exposing game changing crime issues, ultimately setting the stage for new crime‐fighting trends.

In this shareable article, Board Vice Chairman Jim Fuda provides an eloquent history of the Crime Stoppers program as well as details how the Crime Stoppers Global Solutions (CSGS) branch and its transnational crime initiative came to be.

Crime Stoppers is not a new idea. However, applying the model to a more complex world of criminal enterprise requires new thinking and new technologies. While expanding internationally through CSGS clearly helps us here at home, empowering people in any country to help their local police to solve crime is always the right thing to do! Read more.

Staying Safer in a Turbulent World

We created this situational awareness video to help citizens remain safer in our changing times. Mass shootings and bombings happen on a regular basis. Active shooter situations happen, on average, every 15 days in the United States. To better protect ourselves, we need to remain relaxed, get aware of our surroundings, and always obey our instincts. Our gut feeling is almost never wrong. When we are distracted, we miss vital warning signs.

Although low probability, these incidents are high impact when they do occur. These can happen anywhere. Public places are soft targets, such as movie theaters, malls, and airports, and they are especially at risk. In our video, learn how to recognize suspicious situations to protect yourself.

Are We Prepared for Mumbai in America?

The world observed in horror the Mumbai attacks on November 26, 2008, that left 151 dead and more than 325 wounded. Ten gunmen approached the city by watercraft and terrorized a nation, hitting multiple locations as they targeted U.S. and U.K. passport holders, but killing any innocent person who crossed their path. The Pakistani terrorists crippled the infrastructure of India’s most populous city and held Police and Military personnel at bay for more than three days in what would be India’s worst terrorist attack since the 1993 coordinated attacks on the stock exchange, government buildings, and businesses where 257 were killed and over more than wounded.

This shareable article by CSGS Board Vice Chairman Jim Fuda was originally published in PoliceOne Magazine in September 2009. In the article, Jim explores how an incident such as this one—several attacks in a major city or, worse yet, several attacks in multiple cities—might play out in the United States.

“My first reaction was somewhat comforting, realizing that the U.S. is better‐trained, has better equipment, and most likely better tactics to countermand this type of attack,” Jim writes. “I then realized, even if the aforementioned were true, would we be better able to 1) overcome such force in a timelier manner in such crisis and 2) would we be better at saving lives?” Read more.
