Northern B.C. Crime Stoppers, which is now 38 years old, has reached an all-time record of the number of tips it received in a single year.
During 2022, Northern B.C. Crime Stoppers received over 1,200 tips, which is an increase of 26 tips from 2021.
The organization now serves over 30 communities across northern British Columbia by taking tips north to the Yukon border, south to Williams Lake, west to Terrace and east to the Alberta border.
Since its inception in 1985, it’s received 21,609 tips and last year received a total of 1211.
Since 1985 it’s also recovered $3, 283,451 in stolen property, $35,557,709 in drugs seized and $558,147 in cash.
In 2022, Northern BC Crime Stoppers continued our very successful partnership with Shred-it Mobile Shedding Services, Mr. Mikes and School District 57!
With a minimum donation of $10 per bag or box to Crime Stoppers, you can shred your personal documents safely and securely. Its spring and fall events in 2022 raised nearly $10,000! The next “Community Shred It Event” will take place on Saturday April 29 in Prince George at the PGSS parking lot from 10 a.m. -2 p.m.
Northern BC Crime Stoppers is a not-for-profit society run independently of the police by everyday citizens. All information received is anonymous and is provided to the police in the hopes it will further investigations and lead to arrests, seizures and recovered property.
The traditional method of calling 1-800-222-8477(TIPS) and providing information to a trained operator is still very popular but an increasingly popular alternative is submitting a tip via the website at www.northernbccrimestoppers.ca.
