Anyone with a static sign outside of of their business can consider putting on a generic Crime Stoppers message (such as Crime Stoppers, 1-800-222-TIPS, “Anonymous,” or “Cash rewards”).
If a service group needs a guest speaker (no group is too big or too small), call the administrative line 519-846-5371 to arrange to have Crime Stoppers representatives speak at the next meeting.
Anyone who sends monthly statements or invoices to clients could include a Crime Stoppers pamphlet or information sheet in that monthly mail out. Email crime.stoppers@cogeco.net to make arrangements.
Does anyone want a metal Crime Stoppers sign or Crime Stoppers posters to put out in a business or school? The more visible the Crime Stoppers program, the greater the deterrent.

If anyone is holding a special event and thinks that a Crime Stoppers information booth would be a good fit, let Crime Stoppers officials know.
Use the school’s morning announcement time to make sure everyone in the school is aware of the toll free 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) telephone number and the www.crimestopperswellington.com website. Call for assistance in creating a generic Crime Stoppers message.
