Joined by Crime Stoppers of Halton Board Chair Doug Maybee, and HRPS Police Coordinator for Crime Stoppers of Halton Paul Proteau, Mayor Rob Burton of the Town of Oakville, signs a proclamation hereby proclaiming the month of January 2017 as Crime Stopper Month. Mayor Burton urges all residents to support the activites of Crime Stoppers of Halton.
Halton Crime Stoppers is celebrating January as Crime Stoppers Month along with other programs in Canada and around the world.
This year’s theme – See something, Hear something, Say something – adopted from the Homeland Security’s popular slogan in the United States, See Something, Say Something – is designed to encourage people to call the Crime Stoppers tip line if they become aware of anything that will help solve or stop crime.
Through the years, callers to Halton Crime Stoppers have provided tips anonymously that have led to the solving of homicides, break-ins, assaults, sexual attacks, robberies, frauds and numerous other crimes in Burlington, Milton, Oakville and Halton Hills.
Crime Stoppers Month allows Crime Stoppers programs everywhere to highlight successes and create awareness of how anonymous tips not only assist in solving crime, but helps keep our various neighborhoods safe and secure.
January will be officially recognized as Crime Stoppers Month during a special celebration on January 17th. The event, which runs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., will be held at the Halton Police 20 Division, 95 Oak Walk Drive in Oakville. In addition to remarks from politicians and key police personnel, the chair of Halton Crime Stoppers, Doug Maybee will outline the program’s main achievements from 2016 and detail plans for the next 12 months
