Promoting safer communities is the goal of Crime Stoppers. Our Volunteers work collaboratively to increase awareness of the program, so it is visible in our collective communities. Crime Stoppers assist in building safe neighborhoods by fostering collaboration between the public, law enforcement and local organizations, empowering every member of our community to play an active role in preventing and reporting crime. Criminal activity takes many forms, Illicit Goods, Extortion and Sexploitation, Illegal Drug Production and Trafficking, Cybercrime, Vehicle Thefts, Human Trafficking, Wildlife Crimes, and Property Crimes are only a few. Working together we can stop crime. I invite you to volunteer on our HRM board. SEE IT, SAY IT, STOP IT. IBMJGBY!SFHJPOBM!
