The cornerstone of Crime Stoppers is anonymity. Without it Thunder Bay District Crime Stoppers as well as countless other programs World wide would fall. Callers can be rest assured that we do not use caller ID; calls are not tape recorded; and at no time are callers asked to identify themselves nor are they asked for any other information that could potentially identify them. Funds to run the Crime Stoppers Program are provided solely by the Community through sponsorships and other fundraising initiatives. There is no Government funding. Any support whether financial or through volunteering for our Board or any one of our seven Committees is much appreciated.
