Unfortunately, many of us are directly impacted by it, and are hurt in one way or another. Whether it be drug related crimes and the related social ramifications, the horrific crime of human trafficking or crimes against person and property. To prevent crime, generally we must build a legal and social climate in which the potential criminal is discouraged from attempting to break the law, and where citizens who report crime are given a safe anonymous venue to report crime without fear of repercussions, and the answer to this is Crime Stoppers. Crime Stoppers’ roll to aid law enforcement brings criminals to justice and keep our communities safe. Law enforcement officers bear the brunt of criticism and violence in our society. At no other time has law enforcement been under greater stress than today. With traditional “old crimes” which they have long had to deal with, and new crimes that have emerged such as cyber crimes, violent protests and general disrespect for property and people. Our board is very fortunate to have Deputy Chief Robert Hearn from the Truro Police Service. Deputy Chief Hearn’s professionalism, knowledge and dedication to the community is commendable. The volunteers in the Crime Stoppers program are the lifeblood of our organization. Their hard work, commitment to their communities and the Crime Stoppers Program ensures the success of the program in their own Community, Provincially and as part of the Canadian Crime Stoppers Program, thank you very much for all you do. DPMDIFTUFS Amanda Morrisey District Chair, Colchester Since our last annual report, the Cumberland Board participated in a Race Against Drugs event at a local elementary school. The board held two meetings in 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic put a hold on gatherings. With the restrictions this year, we were unable to participate in our usual activities such as: Police Week, Seniors’ Expos, and a parade. With these activities, we would have been able to distribute materials to promote the TIPS number. We encourage anyone who is interested in or wants to join this group, to contact their local police. The board wishes to thank all individuals, groups, businesses, municipalities and towns in Cumberland that have supported our various activities in past years. Stay safe and hope to see our board up and running another year. DVNCFSMBOE Lunenburg County Crime Stoppers presently have ten members who are dedicated and focused on promoting Crime Stoppers awareness in Lunenburg County. It is very rewarding volunteering for this non-profit organization and we are always looking for new members to help promote Crime Stoppers. Our board members have participated over the year in many activities, starting with booths set up at the Bridgewater Mall passing out pamphlets. We participate in the annual Michelin Safety Fair, Michelin Seniors Expo and some of our favorite activities are the Bridgewater Exhibition parade and Lunenburg Christmas parade of lights. Our board held a BBQ with the support of the Atlantic Superstore in Bridgewater to raise funds for our non-profit organization. The Lunenburg Board aim to continue to promote the Crime Stoppers message within the community and expect to have continued success in promoting awareness in the upcoming year. I would like to thank all the volunteers who take the time to promote this much needed program. MVOFOCVSH Ivan Rodenhiser District Chair, Lunenburg
