SIPA

In May 2014, the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) police officials registered 377 calls to the Crime-Stoppers hotline, out of which 154 were assessed as not serious.

In this period, citizens submitted 80 useful information about planned or committed criminal offences and their perpetrators, based on which the same number of reports was made.

The majority of information referred to the criminal offences of “Abuse of Official Position” (11) and illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs (10).

Out of the total number of information received, 80 of them, along with the reports, were forwarded for further processing to competent police authorities in BH and SIPA acted upon four pieces of information.

Within this reporting period, 43 pieces of feedback were received from the competent police authorities related to the information previously submitted via the Crime-Stoppers. Based on these information, it was determined that two reports on criminal offences and their perpetrators were submitted to the competent Prosecutor’s Offices and four reports were submitted for further evaluation.

In addition, SIPA’s police officials gave 143 recommendations to the citizens who contacted them via the anonymous and free Crime-Stoppers telephone number - 080 020 505.
