Crime Stoppers is looking for volunteers in the Tri-Cities to help its anonymous tips program designed to solve crimes.
Operating for the past 35 years, the registered charity is looking to fill four volunteer positions:
• a community outreach ambassador whose job it is to inform the pubic about the organization and liaise at community events;
• a school presentation ambassador who will encourage high school students to anonymously report information about a crime to Crime Stoppers;
• an elder abuse presentation ambassador who speaks to seniors about elder abuse;
• and someone to help Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers write articles in a variety of languages (the group accepts tips in more than 115 languages).
Anyone interested in volunteering is asked to email Anissa Lau at [email protected].
Crime Stoppers works as an anonymous multi-platform point of contact where people can leave tips that will automatically get passed on to authorities for investigation. In some cases, those who provide tips that lead to a charge or arrest may be offered a cash reward collectable through a tipster code number to remain anonymous.
