Student Crime Stoppers

What is Student Crime Stoppers?

The Student Crime Stoppers program is designed to bring students, the community, and law enforcement together to prevent crimes at school, and create a safe learning environment. Students have the right to learn and live their daily lives without having their property stolen, being harassed, threatened, or assaulted. The program offers students a tool to stand up against crime without reprisal, retaliation or peer pressure through a confidential and anonymous tipsline. The program is designed to make the institution a safer place to learn and reduce crime in the schools and local community.

Student Crime Stoppers can serve as a foundation for those schools with students wishing to pursue a career in law enforcement. These students may create a Crime Stoppers group within their school to promote and support the objectives of this program. Some initiatives these students might undertake may include: having law enforcement guest speakers, organizing crime prevention events, planning safe student dances, making students more safety conscience regarding their laptops, iPods, cell phones, lockers, and personal belongings, and organizing fundraising events to fund projects that will make their school a safer place to learn. Those schools that currently have police presence or involvement can use the resources of Student Crime Stoppers to support their initiatives.

Campus Crime Stoppers: A Safer Campus is Your Call

All universities and community colleges in New Brunswick are supporting N.B. Crime Stoppers by making their students and faculty more aware of the benefits of the Crime Stoppers program. Campus Crime Stoppers is designed to promote safety within the University and College community. The University of New Brunswick, St. Thomas University, Mount Allison University, Université de Moncton, and NBCC all support a safe, crime-free environment, and the Crime Stoppers program is another method students can use to report criminal activity anonymously.

All incoming students will be given information about N.B. Crime Stoppers and the methods they can use to report crime anonymously. Specially designed posters will be visible within the University and College community buildings as a reminder to students that this program is available for their use, if necessary. The Campus Security Departments are very supportive of the partnership with N.B. Crime Stoppers as it reinforces existing safety programs.
