The theme for the 32nd Annual Crime Stoppers International 2011 Training Conference was CRIME HAS NO BORDERS. The conference was hosted by Jamaica in October. “The conference theme, ‘Crime Has No Borders’, was chosen because it exactly defines the reason the Inter-national organization exits. In this internet driven age of social networking and global commercial enterprises our so called borders are being eroded and exploited and criminal elements are doing their utmost to take advantage of this.” Conference Co Chair, Dave Carruthers. Guest speakers represented the United Nations, Interpol, FBI, US Marshals, Scotland Yard, RCMP, Jamaica Constabulary Force, Toronto Police Service, Turks & Caicos Police Force, and the world of social media. Presented topics included Police Corruption, Cyber Crime, Social Networking, Human Trafficking, Human Smuggling and Child Exploitation.

Saskatoon Crime Stoppers and Saskatoon Media Group (CJWW, Magic 98.3, the BULL) won the 2010 Crime Stoppers International award for the BEST RADIO SPECIAL REPORTS / FEATURES for communities 75,001 – 250,000.

Subject: Don't Be That Guy - Poster Campaign Launch (rel. # 640)

The Saskatoon Police Service, in partnership with the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority, Saskatoon Sexual Assault and Information Centre, and Saskatoon Crime Stoppers is launching Don't Be That Guy, a new, proactive poster campaign.

It is estimated that the use of drugs or alcohol plays a role in 60% of sexual assaults reported to police. Based on similar successful campaigns in Edmonton and Ottawa, Don't Be That Guy is aimed at raising awareness about sexual assault. Messages displayed on the posters are designed to make men think about the boundaries between consensual sexual contact and criminal sexual assault. "This is an important step in shifting the focus, and making men think about their behavior", says Staff Sergeant Jean-Marc Voisard of the SPS Personal Violence Section. "For years we have been trying to educate women with our messaging but this campaign is an opportunity to send a strong message to men - before an assault is committed", says Heather Pocock with the Saskatoon Sexual Assault and Information Centre.

The posters are being produced with funding from the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority and Saskatoon Crime Stoppers. They will be displayed in bars, lounges, liquor stores and on the University of Saskatchewan campus beginning this fall.

On Monday, June 6, 2011, Rick Peddle – President of the Kinsmen Club of Saskatoon presented Craig Sled – President of Saskatoon Crime Stoppers with a cheque for $20,000. The donation will fund an ongoing public awareness campaign along with Student Crime Stoppers initiatives within Saskatoon elementary and high schools.

“The Saskatoon Crime Stoppers Board is pleased to partner with the Kinsmen Club of Saskatoon. We’re excited to be the recipient of such a generous donation. The Kinsmen Club of Saskatoon has supported events and organizations dedicated to ‘serving the community’s greatest need’ and we’re proud to be a part of this tradition. Saskatoon Crime Stoppers is committed to providing the public a confidential and completely anonymous method in which to provide TIPS on unsolved crime. Our contribution continues to ensure Saskatoon is a safer place to live, work and raise a family,” said Craig Sled.

Our club has always worked to make Saskatoon a better place to live and work,” said Rick Peddle. “Through this unique partnership of police, media and the community, Saskatoon Crime Stoppers and the Kinsmen Club of Saskatoon can help to maintain, and improve the quality of life within Saskatoon. It is an extremely valuable tool in the fight against crime.”

Saskatoon Crime Stoppers President, Craig Sled, received a donation of $300 from Canadian Corps of Commissionaires North Saskatchewan Division CEO, Mike Cooper, at their Annual General Meeting held on Tuesday, May 24, 2011.

Saskatoon Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization administered by a volunteer Board of Directors. The Board fundraises annually and is responsible for the disbursement of reward money for information (TIPS) leading to an arrest. Donations from businesses and individuals allow Crime Stoppers to operate.

On Wednesday, January 12, 2011, CTV Saskatoon made a symbolic donation to show its commitment to the Crime Stoppers Program.

Wade Moffat, Vice President and GM of CTV Saskatchewan presented a cheque totaling $125,000 to Craig Sled, Vice President of Saskatoon Crime Stoppers.

The amount represents production and air time provided by the station. CTV Saskatoon produces a weekly Crime Stoppers segment that runs on CTV Saskatoon and a number of other media outlets. It’s done free of charge but the value is significant.
