Unprecedented Success Continues in 2010

Crime Stoppers — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 16:50:14 +0000

2010 continued to be an extremely busy year for Crime Stoppers of Northwestern Ontario and Northern Minnesota.

In 2010, Crime Stoppers has posted another enviable record of success. When compared with the program’s performance in 2009, numbers in almost every measurable statistic are up and, in places, by rather staggering amounts.

Some highlights at the end of 2010 include:

The value of stolen property recovered increased over 500%
The amount of drugs seized up almost 340%
The value of recovered property, drugs, etc. has improved by more than 350%
The number of arrests increased over 50%
The number of calls the toll-free line has taken has increased by more than 35%

Our mandate of anonymity precludes Crime Stoppers from digging deeper into the data to source the success, however, some obvious indicators point to the tremendous contribution made by local media outlets in broadcasting out message. Even the subtlest mention of Crime Stoppers and the toll-free number in a newscast or news story produces results. Equally, our relationship with the many police agencies allows us to move information received quickly and anonymously and cases can be solved very quickly; at times, in a few days.

Naturally, the success comes with a cost. The number of rewards paid out through 2010 increased by 50% of the amount paid through the entire 12 months of 2009. Crime Stoppers asks for your help by making a small donation through the secure PayPal link on the www.tipshelp.com website. Your investment is very important: for every dollar Crime Stoppers pays out in rewards, it amounts to $6,400 of drugs and stolen property taken off our streets and away from schools.
