Crime Stoppers of Halton turns to movies for tips by David Lea Oakville Beaver Staff 15 | Friday, July 10, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Crime Stoppers of Halton has turned to the movies in an effort to get their crime prevention message out to the public. The not-for-profit organization has reached a deal with Cineplex to have a special video played before the start of films in their theatres. The public service announcement played at the Cineplex theatre on Wyecroft Road in Oakville throughout June then moved to the Cineplex theatre on Brant Street in Burlington for July and will be played at the Cineplex on Milton's Maple Avenue in August. The video draws attention to the anonymity Crime Stoppers provides residents who phone in crime tips by showing an armed robber who rushes into a store and is perplexed when he sees people in the store wearing ski masks. The confused robber retreats from the store empty-handed, running into more ski-masked citizens as he leaves. The video then fades to black with the words, "You stay anonymous. Criminals don't," appearing on the screen. The video ends with the appearance of the Crime Stoppers of Halton logo and its tip line number 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Crime Stoppers of Halton Co-ordinator and Halton police Det. Const. Paul Proteau said advertising Crime Stoppers' services at the movies just made sense. "There are tons of people who go to the movies. I go all the time," said Proteau. "Hamilton Crime Stoppers has done this in the past and it is a good medium." Proteau said the video screenings are being paid for with a portion of the $50,000 grant Economical Insurance recently presented to Crime Stoppers of Halton. The Canadian insurance provider will allocate these funds over a three-year period. Proteau said the grant would also pay for an interactive presentation Crime Stoppers of Halton will bring to local secondary school students in the fall. Crime Stoppers is a community volunteer charitable organization. It offers telephone, text, and online services to allow residents to give tips on criminal activity. The organization does not subscribe to call display, record phone calls and all text and web tips are encrypted. Rewards of up to $2,000 are offered for information leading to an arrest.
