Crime Stoppers Honours Police Officers

January is Crime Stopper month and Prince George Crime Stoppers would like to honour local police officers that have made extra efforts to support the program over the last year.

This year is the first time Prince George Crime Stoppers has taken the step in formally recognizing a Police Officer of the Year and a Watch of the Year at the local Detachment.  Both awards will become annual awards.

Officer of the Year

Cst. Danny Grieve, a member of the Detachment’s Downtown Enforcement Unit, is the first ever recipient of the Prince George Crime Stoppers Officer of the Year Award.  Cst. Grieve has shown continuous support of the Crime Stopper program and is constantly going through Crime Stopper tips searching for new information.  The information he receives every week, has led to the acquisition of search warrants to help rid our City of illicit drugs.

General Duty Watch of the Year

Of the four General Duty Watches that respond to calls 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, Prince George Crime Stoppers has awarded ‘D’ Watch the General Duty Watch of the Year for 2012.  ‘D’ Watch, led by Staff Sergeant Jeff McArthur, has been a big supporter of the Crime Stopper program through 2012 and has had more successes than any other watch.

Congratulations to both Cst. Grieve and the entire ‘D’ Watch team.  Crime Stoppers would like to extend a big thank you to all members and staff at the Prince George RCMP and look forward to partnering  for many more years of solving and preventing Crime.

Join Crime Stoppers at the following events for a chance to win one of two Samsung Tab 2 computer tablets and to help us celebrate Crime Stoppers month!  

• On Saturday January 19th we’ll be at the Northern Sport Centre to watch the UNBC Timberwolves Men & Women take on the University of Manitoba in great CIS basketball action.  Women tip off at 6:00 pm and the men at 8:00 pm.  

On Saturday January 26th, look for us at the Prince George Coliseum, located at 888

• Dominion Street, when we cheer on the Prince George Spruce Kings Hockey Club as they take on the Coquitlam Express.  Again, there will be free give-a-ways and a chance to win another Samsung Tab 2 computer tablet.

Three Ways To Submit A Tip

There are three completely anonymous ways to submit a tip to Prince George Crime Stoppers.  

1. The traditional method of calling 1-800-222-8477 and providing information to an operator is still very popular.  
2. As an alternative, you can submit a typed tip via the website at www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca.  
3. The third method of submitting a tip is by SMS texting.  You can simply text “PGTIPS” and the information you wish to provide, to 274637 from any cellular phone or device with SMS capability.  This method continues to gain in popularity after two successful years in Prince George.  

When providing tips, please be as detailed as possible and remember, we don't want your name, just your information.

One of over 4000 Crime Stopper programs throughout the country, Prince George Crime Stoppers 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 2012 statistics, please see our website at www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca.

2011 A Record Year for Prince George Crimestoppers

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:

	2011	Since Inception in 1991
Tips Received	757	9261
Arrests Made	31	1405
Number of Awards Approved	25	504

Value of Property Recovered	$183,719	$2,807,546
Value of Illicit Drugs Recovered	$6,990,535	$32,970,737

Text-A-Tip Gaining Momentum

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.
