Crime Stoppers began in 1976 when a detective in New Mexico appealed to the public with a video re-enactment of a murder crime and offered a reward for anonymous tips. Two men were arrested within 72 hours and charged with the murder. Since that time, Crime Stoppers has become a global phenomenon and is credited by its originator, former detective Greg MacAleese, with solving over one million major crimes.
Fast forward to 2009…and Nanaimo and District Crime Stoppers board member Peter McGee receives the B.C. Crime Stopper of the Year Award. Peter has been traveling across B.C. and North America, training and presenting about how the program can engage youth in the digital age.
We’re joined in the studio by Peter McGee and R.C.M.P. Constable Gary O’Brien to speak about the impact of Crime Stoppers in the community and about how the program is being presented to youth.
