Crime Stoppers Dominica Offers Confidential Reporting Platform
Roseau, Dominica – July 17th 2025
The Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica, under the direction of Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit, has launched a national unlicensed firearm amnesty. The initiative is a strategic intervention aimed at reducing illegal firearms in circulation and improving public safety across the island.
The amnesty provides a limited-time opportunity for individuals to surrender unlicensed or illegal firearms to law enforcement authorities without fear of prosecution. The measure is seen as a significant step toward addressing gun-related violence and promoting safer communities.
In support of the initiative, Crime Stoppers Dominica has activated its confidential tip-reporting services, encouraging individuals to either surrender weapons or report knowledge of their whereabouts anonymously.
How to Report
Members of the public can take advantage of the following confidential reporting options:
- Call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-8477 (TIPS)
- Submit a secure online tip via www.crimestoppersdominica.org
Crime Stoppers Dominica has emphasized that all tips are anonymous, and neither calls nor online submissions are traceable. The organization reiterated its commitment to protecting the identity of all informants and ensuring a secure process.
“This is an opportunity for every citizen to contribute to a safer Dominica,” a spokesperson for Crime Stoppers stated. “Removing unlicensed firearms from the streets is a shared responsibility, and this amnesty provides a proactive, non-punitive way to do so.”
The firearm amnesty follows similar regional initiatives and reflects a growing Caribbean-wide response to the proliferation of illegal guns. Dominica’s decision to implement the programme underscores the government’s continued efforts to strengthen law enforcement, reduce violence, and engage communities in national safety efforts.
The public is urged to act within the designated amnesty window. Individuals surrendering firearms or providing tips that lead to the recovery of illegal weapons will not be prosecuted.
Crime Stoppers Dominica continues to advocate the principle that silence enables violence, and that public cooperation is essential in building and maintaining peaceful communities.
