For Immediate Release, January 2016
7-Eleven
Canada invites customers to support Crime Stoppers with
January & February Donation Canisters in
all Stores
Donation Canisters
will be available on all 7 Eleven Canada front counters during January and February
2016 offering customers the opportunity to support Crime Stoppers Programs
throughout the country. 7- Eleven Canada and Crime Stoppers in Canada have a
maintained a long-standing partnership in fostering safer communities. This annual appeal raised a record-setting $53,000.00
for Crime Stoppers programs. Since 2004, 7 Eleven Canada customers have
donated over $500,000.00 to support Crime Stoppers programs across the country.
These funds are used to ensure
that the Crime Stoppers 24/7 anonymous tip line is available for use by all
citizens.
Crime Stoppers is a
volunteer-run program to support safe communities in Canada. A Crime Stoppers Board of Directors is drawn
from citizens in the community and this Board monitors local Crime Stoppers
administrative activities, solicits and controls funding and determines reward
payouts for successful Crime Stopper tips.
Municipal Police and the RCMP work cooperatively to manage Crime
Stoppers policing issues.
Crime Stoppers allows
citizens to ANONYMOUSLY supply
investigators with information about a crime or potential crime for which they
have knowledge without fear of reprisal. When a citizen becomes aware of
criminal activity, he/she can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222- TIPS (8477)
from anywhere in Canada and report what they know. Tipsters can also provide information online
through an encrypted tip taking system. Tipsters who contact Crime Stoppers are
never identified. They never have to give a name or phone number. They never have to testify in court. And
tipsters could receive a cash reward of up to $2000 upon an arrest and charge. Crime Stoppers is available 24 hours a day, 7
days a week.
