It is again a pleasure for me to bring you up-to-date on the accomplishments of Crime Stoppers in 2009 which has been another outstanding reporting year with increases in almost all reporting categories.  Crime Stoppers has the luxury of having more than 150 dedicated volunteers whose commitment is making your community safer. 

Our team continues to support our objectives and goals.  We have sought out and developed new partnerships that focus on specific crimes.  Crime Stoppers this year has developed and produced a Public Service Announcement on illegal smuggling.  We have also partnered with our country’s federal government on Human Trafficking.  The extensions of Crime Stoppers which focus on crimes against the elderly and crimes on school property and our most valuable resource, our children continue to pay dividends.

In August, 2010 Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers Association will host the 31st  Crime Stoppers International Training Conference.  Having been awarded the honor of hosting such a prestigious event confirms that Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers Association is certainly one of the very best and we look forward to training delegates from 24 countries worldwide.  And we have committed to presenting training that will be nothing short of outstanding.

Finally, to the supporters of Crime Stoppers I and my team extend our sincerest thanks.  You too are making a difference in the quality of life for all Nova Scotians.

 Yours truly,

John O’Reilly

President
Nova Scotia Crime Stoppers Association
