Crime Stoppers quarterly reportDuring this quarter, 498 new anonymous tips were received along with almost 700 follow-ups to existing tips which resulted in almost 1,000 calls to the program. These tips assisted the Police to clear 29 cases resulting in 42 arrests and 92 charges being laid for a variety of offences including Criminal Code, Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and Highway Traffic Act. The Board of Directors approved $6,575 in reward payments for successful tips this quarter. Since inception in 1987, this program has authorized almost $290,000 in rewards to Tipsters who have helped solve crimes in Simcoe-Dufferin-Muskoka. Of interesting note is that the 3rd quarter media release indicated that 725 follow-ups to existing tips were received during the period from July – September. Because tipsters routinely provide additional information to Crime Stoppers that number is now up to over 900 follow-ups to tips received during the 3rd quarter. Every bit of information, no matter how small, is important. $63,236 in illegal drugs and property were recovered by Police during the 4th quarter of 2013. During the same period in 2012, 555 new tips were received and 88 cases were cleared by police. Crime Stoppers is always looking for energetic new volunteers to be a part of our team either on our Board of Directors or on one of our locally focused community committees. Our volunteers organize fund raising events and promote Crime Stoppers in their respective communities.
