(Ottawa) – The National Capital Area Crime Stoppers is pleased to be participating in Crime Stoppers Awareness month this January.

 

Crime Stoppers is a community-based tips program that allows members of the public to anonymously report information to police, managed in Ottawa by the National Capital Area Crime Stoppers.

 

This year’s theme for Crime Stoppers month is ‘Be a Crime Stopper. Keep Your Community Safe’.

 

“The foundation of Crime Stoppers is the partnership between the community, law enforcement and media. Crime Stoppers works to educate the public and create awareness on illegal activities in an effort to help promote the Canadian values of safety, empowerment and inclusion. Creating awareness and mobilizing Canadians in reporting suspicious or criminal activity anonymously requires a network of partners working together for a common end.”

 

The following radio spot was produced for Crime Stoppers Month to be broadcast by local radio stations in the Ottawa Area. A special thanks to Steve Gregory of CHUM MEDIA Inc. for the creation of these audio files. Click on the play button below to listen to the spot.
