Police coordinator Steve Beasley
advises,"Our Chairperson is Greg
Hansen of Goderich. He and the 11
other directors from throughout
Huron County have worked
extensively to maintain our program
by fundraising and keeping the citi-
zens in Huron County aware of
Crime Stoppers.The Board members
put in countless hours and the success
of our program is a tribute to them.
We are very pleased to have Karen
Mattucci of Exeter as one of our
newer members as she has really
helped our program move in the right
direction."
January is Crime Stoppers Month
What Crime Stoppers Is NOT!
Crime Stoppers is NOT a "rat" program.
Crime Stoppers encourages the public to
anonymously report information on crime.
The program's main goal is to reduce inci-
dents of crime in the community. Although
Crime Stoppers is in the business of solving
crimes, there is a long-range goal of crime
prevention. A community with an effective
and successful Crime Stoppers program acts
as a deterrent for would-be criminals. Crime
Stoppers is a "crime prevention" program
that has the power to help solve any
crime - not a "rat" program. Crime
Stoppers exists for the betterment
of the community they serve.
Crime Stoppers in NOT a police
program.
Crime Stoppers is a non-profit
charitable organization owned
and operated by the community
which combines the best efforts of
the community, the media and the police
in the ongoing battle against crime. Crime
Stoppers works in conjunction with local
investigative agencies, including local police
departments, 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 carry
out the program. Although, when callers
contact Crime Stoppers they are talking to a
community program - not a police program!
Crime Stoppers is NOT a way
to seek revenge.
A Crime Stoppers tip is not evidence and
investigators must independently verify
every tip before a tip can be acted on. The
contents of a tip must be confirmed through
an independent investigation. A Crime
Stoppers tip is just the starting point of an
investigation. People cannot be wrongly
accused (by way of arrest or charge)
because of a vengeful tip.
If YOU have any information on crimi-
nal activity contact CRIME STOP-
PERS Of Huron County at 1 -800-
222 -TIPS (8477). All calls are
confidential - callers never have
to reveal their identity, deal
directly with police or testify in
court. Cash rewards are avail-
able for information that leads
�► to an arrest or charge.
