January Is Crime Stoppers Month

January is Crime Stoppers month across Canada. This year’s theme is ‘Empowering Through Education / Preventing Through Action / L’Autonomisation Par L’Éducation / Prévenir Par L’Action’

Crime Stoppers of Haldimand & Norfolk is proud of the results of tips received from our communities in 2024 as well as the cumulative statistics since our inception in 1988.

When you provide information to Crime Stoppers, you remain anonymous, will never be called upon to testify in court and may be eligible for a cash reward of up to $2,000.00

Crime Stoppers is a non-profit, volunteer run organization completely independent of government and law enforcement.  Crime Stoppers is run by an independent board of directors who all volunteer a great deal of time and effort to the organization.

In these challenging times Crime Stoppers will continue to provide awareness and education to assist in mobilizing Canadians to report suspicious or criminal activity anonymously making our communities safer.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those individuals and businesses who have supported our organization over the past 34 years.

Our volunteer Board of Directors continue to plan fundraising events such as our annual Protect your Identity shredding days and our annual golf tournament in August 2023.  Details will be posted here on the website, as well as our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram platforms.

Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer Board member can contact us at coordinators@helpsolvecrime.com or chair@helpsolvecrime.com

William Robert Courtnage Community Service Bursary Winner

Sam Fogg - Bursary WinnerCrime Stoppers of Haldimand and Norfolk is pleased to announce that the winner of the 2023 / 2024 Crime Stoppers’ William Robert Courtnage Community Service Bursary is Mr. Sam Fogg of Hagersville Secondary School.

Fogg will receive a $1000 bursary in recognition of the contributions that he has made in improving and developing the concept of Student Crime Stoppers in his school.

Pictured awarding the bursary is Keith Cooke, Vice Chairperson for Crime Stoppers of Haldimand and Norfolk and Sam Fogg.

“Our program takes pride in awarding this bursary to honor the contributions that the student Crime Stoppers program makes in their community.” said Pino D’Armiento, chairperson for the program. He added, “Having the youth involved with crime stoppers plays an important role in keeping them from embarking on a life of crime and recognize the importance of community involvement throughout their lives.”

The Student Crime Stoppers program operates under the umbrella of Crime Stoppers of Haldimand and Norfolk encourages students to contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or helpsolvecrime.com with information about crime occurring in their school or community.  Students involved in the Student Crime Stoppers’ program help to promote the anonymous tips line and ensure that fellow classmates are aware that they have an option for getting involved.

Originally introduced in the 1999-2000 school year, this bursary was created by Crime Stoppers of Haldimand and Norfolk to both honour the late William Courtnage and assist students in the continuation of their studies. The late William Courtnage enjoyed an exemplary career of community service and he passed away in January of 1999 while still serving on the Crime Stoppers board of directors. Students from any of the 9 high schools in the program’s coverage area who participate in Student Crime Stoppers have an opportunity to qualify for the bursary each year.

What Is Crime Stoppers?

Crime Stoppers is a non-profit charitable organization that combines the best efforts of the community, the media and the police in the fight against crime.

Each week the media appeals for information about unsolved crimes. A “Crime of the Week” is highlighted in newspaper articles, radio spots and television re-enactments. People are encouraged to call Crime Stoppers anonymously to report any information that may help solve this or any other crime.

A group of dedicated, concerned citizens make up the civilian Board of Directors for Crime Stoppers of Haldimand & Norfolk and is the foundation behind the program. Board members raise, control and administer funds; organize reward payments to callers and promote the program.
