Become a police informant and get paid
“Anonymously reporting a crime means that no one will ever know who passed on the information. It will be kept secret.”
Penny Steyn hosted the Domestic Watch on May 30 at Bedfordview Methodist Church.
The topic was “How you can positively affect South Africa and how you can report crime anonymously”.
“Anonymously reporting a crime means that no one will ever know who passed on the information. It will be kept secret,” said Steyn.

She said that you will need the name, contact details, address and any other relevant information such as what type of crime it is and where it is happening.
She said you can also become a registered informant, which police investigators often rely on.
“You can get paid for information, depending on the level of the crime. If you had to do a lot of investigating that results in catching a gang of criminals, the payment could be as much as R25 000 and more,” said Steyn.
“Your information will be known to one person only and you will be identified by a number.
“You can also give a tip to the police if you are not a registered informant. Then you do not have to give any personal information. Just drop an anonymous tip in the police tip box,” said Steyn.
