The 2024 numbers are in, and it was another successful year for Regina Crime Stoppers, with tips surpassing last year’s totals. A total of 832 tips were cleared in 2024 thanks to anonymous information from community members.
While the tips were up, 2024 saw a large decrease in the amount of property, drugs, and cash seized due to the nature of the types of crimes that received tips. This can fluctuate year over year based on the type of tip and subsequent investigation.

However, only nine of those rewards were paid out, leaving over $10,000 of the reward money unclaimed.
