Council Update A Crimestoppers representative goes over some statistics inside the Six Nations Community Hall April 20, 2011 Safety and Security Meeting: Crime Stoppers pays for crime tips 04/20/11 – The meeting began with how people can make money by passing tips on to the Brantford-Brant Crime Stoppers. Tips can be made anonymously by calling 519-750-8477 or by calling toll free at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Your identity will be protected and will not be provided in any way to anyone or to any website or to any phone (in the case of texting). You will never be known and your identity will never be revealed. Crime Stoppers does not have call display. Tips can be made through the Crime Stoppers email: www.tipsubmit.com. I.P. addresses are stripped off the email which is then forwarded to police officers who are overseeing Crime Stoppers. They have no way of knowing how you are. Each person who provides a tip will be given a code number. Using this number, they can track the situation on the Crime Stoppers website. If an arrest is made from this information, the person picks up a reward cheque at location chosen by the program. One tipster’s message led to a police bust on a $5.3 million marijauna operation. “Your tips are invaluable,” said Inspector Rob Davis of Six Nations Police. He went on to recall how the tips came in after the 2009 Safety and Security meetings. One Six Nations tip helped bring down an multi-million marijuana operation. Dave Ely of Brant Crime Stoppers said they have received a lot of tips from Six Nations. Some of those tips also led to arrests for robberies, car thefts and expired validation tags. Crime Stoppers began in 1976 after a New Mexico after a teenager was brutally killed. A re-enactment led to arrests. In 1984, Crime Stoppers came to Canada and then the program took hold in Europe. Once the Crime Stoppers presentation concluded, Councillor Roger Jonathan raised the issue of destroyed fields and crops as a result of ATV Poker Runs. Noting devastating property damage, he called on police to take action. Inspector Davis told the audience that all the sergeants met that week and all present recognized ATV events are an issue. Police will reach out to farmers to get their help on this issue. Organizers of the events have to accept responsibility, have to protect community land and will be held accountable, added Inspector Davis. Six Nations Council met earlier in the day on this issue to create a strategy to deal with this unacceptable practice of Poker Runs.
