Chief of Police, Frank A. Beazley

Greetings to Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers.

I am extremely proud of the affiliation Halifax Regional Police has with Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers and feel that I have learned much from the strong relationship we share.

Through Crime Stoppers, I have learned the value of partnerships.  Crime Stoppers requires the support and funding from its corporate partners to make the program viable year after year.  Police agencies must partner with Crime Stoppers so the program can help officers solve crimes.  The media needs to convey information about the crimes that police require citizens’ help in solving.  Finally, citizens must play an active role in community safety by coming forward anonymously with information in relation to crimes.  It is obvious to me that each partner fulfils its role, allowing Crime Stoppers to achieve the amazing results that it does each year.

Crime Stoppers has also taught me the importance of giving back to our community.  I know that Crime Stoppers would not be where it is today if it were not for its dedicated volunteers who continually strive to make it the respectable and reliable agency that members in our community can trust.  There is no doubt that Crime Stoppers would not be as successful in identifying and bringing criminals to justice without each of its volunteers.

Thank you and congratulations on another successful year.  I look forward to hearing about your continued success in helping to keep communities safe across our great province.

Yours Truly,

Frank A. Beazley, O.O.M.
