The Goderich Signal-Star, 2009-01-14, Page 10Page A10 - Goderich Signal -Star, Wednesday, January 14, 2009 JANUARY I5... C IME CRIME STOPPERS IS A NON-PROFIT charitable organization owned and operat- ed by the community In which it serves. This combines the best efforts of the community, the media and the police to fight the ongo- ing battle against crime. Crime Stoppers works in conjunction with local investigative agencies, including local police services to help bring justice to unsolved incidents of crime. In addition, a police officer is assigned to Crime Stoppers to help the civilian board of directors to carry out the program. In such though, when callers contact Crime Stoppers, they are contacting a community program, not a police program. Crime Stoppers encourages the public to anonymously report information on crime. The main goal of the program is to reduce the level Of crime within the com- munity. Although Crime Stoppers is in the business of solving crimes, there is a long-range goal of crime prevention.
