Crime Stoppers is a non-profit community program involving the co-operative efforts of the police, the community and the media. It encourages people to call Crime Stoppers with information to solve crimes already committed, ones about to occur, and/or the whereabouts of wanted persons or missing persons, narcotics or stolen property. Crime Stoppers is based on the simple principle that for every crime committed, someone other than the criminal has information that would solve the crime. Citizens from the community often witness all or parts of a crime without being aware of what they have seen. They may unknowingly have information that is the key to solving the crime. Crime Stoppers provides a method for the community to overcome these obstacles and yet become involved in solving crime. Crime Stoppers is an effective tool where the private citizen joins together with law enforcement officials to solve crime. To the police service, Crime Stoppers plays a vital role.

White Ribbon is the world’s largest movement of men and boys working to end violence against women and girls, promote gender equity, healthy relationships and a new vision of masculinity. Starting in 1991, we asked men to wear white ribbons as a pledge to never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women and girls. Since then the White Ribbon has spread to over 60 countries around the world. We work to examine the root causes of gender-based violence and create a cultural shift that helps bring us to a future without violence. Our vision is for a masculinity that embodies the best qualities of being human. We believe that men are part of the solution and part of a future that is safe and equitable for all people.
