Chelsey.Burke@crimestoppers.ca
The youth in our community play a key role in crime awareness, prevention and resolution. It is important to engage the youth consistently to ensure they have a vested interest in their quality of life in the National Capital Area. Consultation with the youth in our community has proven to be educational to say the least. The Crime Stoppers Youth Committee members are key players in the future of our organization.
Social Networking
The youth have led the way in social networking and we are working hard to increase the momentum of these communications strategies.
Now you can send a tip anonymously to Crime stoppers through our Facebook page at
http://www.facebook.com/CrimeStoppersCA?v=app_4949752878&ref=ts
Text your Tip
Tip by Text message to CRIMES (274637) citing key word “Tip 252″.
These methods are fully encrypted, anonymous methods for use.
The Beauty of Anonymity
All too often the youth are hesitant to report crime. They fear social retribution. The beautiful part of the anonymity of sending a tip to Crime Stoppers is that no one will ever know who reported the crime. This process garantees anonimity and eliminates the fear of retaliation. Here are some of the crimes affecting the Youth:
Cyber bullying
Teen Violence
Illegal Drugs
Sexual Assault
Gang activities
Thefts and robberies
These are just a few of the issues faced by our youth. They face more and more adult issues in these modern times. Many of these issues are only now becoming a matter of pubic interest.
Posters
Coming soon to this website will be youth oriented posters for use in the community. You will be able to print them from this website.
We welcome the youth to become a part of the Crime Stoppers team by getting involved in community events and reporting crime when they witness it.
