For more than 20 years, the Prince George Crime Stoppers program has significantly contributed to making Prince George a safe place to live.
Once again this year, Prince George Crime Stoppers has established new records in a number of areas including the most tips ever received, the most arrests made, the most weapons seized and over $7,000,000 in seized drugs and property. All because of “tipsters” like you.
Prince George Crime Stoppers would like to thank the citizens of Prince George and surrounding areas for providing vital information that has led to these record numbers.
With 757 tips resulting in over $7.1 million in total seized drugs and property credited to Crime Stopper "tipsters" in 2011, our total awards approved since 1991 is now at more than $156,000. Here are some more of our record breaking numbers for 2011:
In 2011 we introduced a new way to provide a tip, SMS texting. Now you can simply text “PGTIPS” and the information you wish to provide, to CRIMES (274637) from any cellular phone or device with SMS capability. We have received a number of tips this way and anticipate increased numbers for 2012. Of course, you can still call us at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or provide a web tip at our newly updated website, www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca.
When providing tips, please be as detailed as possible and remember, we don't want your name, just your information.
January is Crime Stoppers Month and Prince George Crime Stoppers would like to invite everyone to help us celebrate!
Crime Stoppers Prince George is a proud partnership of the local media, police and residents of BC's northern capital. For more details about Prince George Crime Stoppers, our community events or our 2011 statistics, please see our website at www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca.
