Reunite service by Crime Stoppers Qld

Crime Stoppers Queensland has launched a bold new community safety initiative called the Reunite Service.

The Reunite Service is simple, effective and secure and utilises the Crime Stoppers call centre to help reunite parents, guardians and carers with those in their care, should they become separated.

It is a web based system where the public register those in their care onto a secure database. The database will be accessed only by the Crime Stoppers call centre when a person is reported separated.
