The Grey-Bruce program helps not
only police throughout the two
counties but other law enforce
ment agencies such as the Ministry
of Natural Resources and the
Ministry of the Environment.
Dave Osborne of the Owen
Sound detachment of the Ontario
Provincial Police said thatsince
May 15 tips telephoned to the
Grey-Bruce program have led to 18
arrests and 50 charges.
Cal Miller, a crime writer with
the Toronto Star and a member of
the International Board of Crime
Stoppers spoke on the Toronto
program. He first got involved in
the program when he wrote stories
for the Star on the startling results
Hamilton had been getting as the
first Ontario centre to join the
Crime Stoppers program. When a
similar program was organized in
Toronto he was asked to be a board
member.
The program in Toronto started
slowly but after six months was
building well. As of October 1987
more than 1,000 arrests had been
made and 2,970 charges laid since
the program began in 1984. Stole
property recovered had totalled
more than $1.6 million and $16.1
million (street value) in drugs had
been seized. More than 11,000
calls had been received.
He stressed the important role of
the media in the program. A crime
of the week will appear each week
in all county newspapers and will

ed to call in with information on
that crime or any other crime to a
toll-free number.
Howard Wright, co-ordinator of
the program for the Ontario
Provincial Police province-wide
said when you see an organization
get involved in a program as
quickly as the O.P.P. has, you
know it must be working. The first
Crime Stoppers program involving
the O.P.P. was set up only a year
agoin Essex county and by next
summer there will be Crime
Stoppers programs in all 16 O.P.P.
districts. The program helps man
power for the police, he said,
allowing investigators solve cases
more easily.
Jeff Sabin, co-ordinator of the
program in Huron County said
word of the program had leaked out
and already there had been two
phone calls offering information
which could not be accepted
because the program is not in
place. The Huron County program
wiillinkO.P.P. detachments in
Goderich, Wingham and Exeter
and the municipal police forces in
the county’s five towns. Rewards
will range from $50 to $1,000 with
larger rewards going to the tips
that help most. If a tip helps get
police on the right track on an
investigation when they’ve been
heading in the wrong direction it is
more valuable, it was explained.
Eleven potential board mem
bers had been recruited, Const.
Sabin said with a goal of a
15-person board drawn from
throughout the county. The board
members have been recommend
ed by police and community
leaders.
Fundraising will begin soon. In
the Grey-Bruce area, where they
setabudgetof $15-20,000 each
year, fundraising is carried out in
sponsoring events ranging from
the Flying Fathers hockey team to
talking to service clubs.
Beautiful slides of her recent
Mediterranean cruise were shown
by Jean Bewley accompanied by an
interesting commentary. “From
Ocean UntoOcean” closed this
part of the meeting.
During the business session it
was agreed to purchase ceiling
tiles for the Sunday School room
and hire the work done. Christmas
poinsettias will be sent to shut-in
members of the congregation.
