RECEIVED Mayor and Council
The Municipality of Brockton FEB - 2 2018 100 Scott Street, P .0. Box 68
MUNICIPALITY OF BROCKTONWalkerton ON N0G 2V0
Attn: Brandy Patterson, Deputy Clerk
Dear Mayor and Council:
Crime Stoppers of Grey Bruce Inc. is urgently requesting A DONATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,000 from
The Municipality of Brockton, OR A COMMITMENT OF A DONATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $2,000 EACH
YEAR FOR THE NEXT FIVE (5) YEARS. Crime Stoppers representatives would be pleased to make a
presentation to your council about the program and answer any questions your Councillors may have.
Crime Stoppers is at a crisis point. There are enough funds left to support this program for the next two
years. Without the assistance of your municipality, and every other municipality in Grey Bruce, the
program will then have to close due to lack of funding.
What is Crime Stoppers?
Each Crime Stoppers organization is a separate entity, which focuses on assisting with the prevention of
crime in their local communities. Crime Stoppers is not part of the local police services, and the only
assistance the organization receives from the Ontario Provincial Police is one liaison officer/coordinator,
at their cost, to assess tip viability and report back to the Crime Stoppers Board of Directors for tip
reward payout. Crime Stoppers does not receive direct funding from the provincial or any other government.
Crime Stoppers is a completely volunteer based organization. Each Board of Directors is comprised wholly of volunteers from the respective local communities.
Statistics for Grey and Bruce Counties
Over the past 30 years, tips provided to Crime Stoppers of Grey Bruce Inc. have led to the solving of
2,613 cases, with more than 1,590 arrests and the seizure of nearly $52 Million in stolen property and
illegal drugs. Approved awards for these tips amounted to more than $256,500.
How Does Crime Stoppers Work?
Crime Stoppers offers t elephone and encrypted internet based services that allow anyone to provide
tips with anonymity guaranteed. In exchange for the tips, rewards of up to $2,000, approved by the respective Board of Directors, are offered. These rewards are completely funded by donations from
municipalities like yours, who believe Crime Stoppers offers an invaluable tool in the fight against crime.

How are Donations Used?
Donations are used to pay out rewards, purchase office supplies and equipment, assist with attendance
fees at local events to promote Crime Stoppers, and for core funding to keep the program running.
Please contact us to arrange a presentation to your council or to answer any questions you may have.
Crime Stoppers of Grey Bruce Inc. thanks you for your commitment to fighting crime and ensuring safer
communities for the future generations of Grey and Bruce Counties.
Yours truly,
~~ Elizatieth {Betty) Egerdeen
President, Crime Stoppers of Grey Bruce Inc.

PRESENTATION TO MUNICIPALITY OF BROCKTON COUNCIL 12 MAR 2018, 7:00 P.M. Introductions: Elizabeth Egerdeen, Chair; Michael Lundy, Director; of Crime Stoppers of Grey Bruce Inc.
Overview:
Crime Stoppers of Grey Bruce is a registered charity. We are not a police service.
Our Crime Stoppers (CS) is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors from various communities throughout Grey Bruce.
We also have a group of committed volunteers who work to raise funds.
Our main sources of fundraising are: an annual golf tournament (partnering with local insurance companies), sales of lottery tickets, raffles, and other activities.
CS works collaboratively with the local police depts., the media, and the community members. Our partners, including police services, consider CS to be a valuable service that helps ensure the safety and well-being of our communities.
CS receives anonymous tips from the public regarding crimes that have taken place, or that are in process of being committed, or are about to take place.
Tips are submitted by either telephone or online using a secure website designed for tips submissions.
Our office administrator receives these tips, collects the necessary information from the tipster, and forwards the tip to the appropriate police department for follow up.
CS pays a cash reward up to $2,000 for information leading to the arrest of criminals or the seizure of drugs or stolen property. These rewards are a significant motivator for the public to submit tips.
We have one paid administrative staff member who handles the tips submissions during the day and the day-to-day administrative duties of our office.
The Ontario Association of Crime Stoppers receives funding from the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, to cover costs related to the National Anonymous Call Centre monitoring our tips line, during off-hours (overnight and weekends). These funds do not get paid directly to the respective local Crime Stoppers programs.
Statistics:
Since 1987, our tips have resulted in nearly $52 Million worth of seized drugs and recovered property. We receive about 550 tips in Grey Bruce each year.
For all of Grey and Bruce in 2017, Crime Stoppers of Grey-Bruce has been successful in that: 544 tips were submitted $2,460 in property was recovered $76,147 in drugs seized Total of approximately $78,607 recovered Rewards approved: $5,950 26 arrests, 23 cases cleared, 80 charges laid

Municipality of Brockton statistics will be presented in session. Summary and Request:
Crime Stoppers’ operating expenses and the rewards paid out are entirely funded by donations and fundraising. We also have expenses related to raising awareness of this program in our communities to ensure tip submissions continue.
CS of Grey Bruce is looking for a commitment from our municipalities of $2,000 this year – or $2,000 per year for the next 5 years. Crime Stoppers is asking for your support to ensure this program remains sustainable. Currently our expenses are greatly exceeding our sources of revenue.
We thank members of the Brockton Council for their time and opportunity to present.
