Innisfil proclaims Crime Stoppers Month

Whereas Crime Stoppers of Simcoe-Dufferin-Muskoka was established on January 12, 1987, and became incorporated as a non-profit charitable organization on February 11, 1987. The program is operated by a volunteer Board of Directors, who oversees all phases of the program; and

Whereas Crime Stoppers is not a police program nor funded by the provincial or federal government or from police agencies. The program is operated solely with monies generously donated from the private sector, businesses or raised through fundraising efforts of the volunteer Board of Directors and committee volunteers; and
