2. What is Crime Stoppers?
Crime Stoppers is an effective world-wide crime-solving organization with the primary objective of combining the resources of the media, law enforcement and the general public to solve crime.
A steadfast principal of Crime Stoppers is the ability to collect information or “tips” on crime and criminals from citizens. To get these people involved, and to overcome apathy and indifference, cash awards are offered for anonymous tips.
To overcome people’s fear of retaliation, or fear of involvement, Crime Stoppers guarantees total anonymity.
Media is used to notify the public of a crime and solicit their cooperation in reporting information on the crime. Law enforcement takes the information received from tipsters and investigates; hopefully with a successful conclusion.
The distinctive feature of Crime Stoppers is that it is a community program, administered and overseen by dedicated volunteers. Crime Stoppers is not a police or government program. Simply put, Crime Stoppers is an extension of the community responding to crime.
The mission of N.B. Crime Stoppers is, “to create a safer, more secure New Brunswick.”
