Crime Stoppers offers statement supporting anti-racism initiatives

Since 1988, Crime Stoppers Guelph Wellington (CSGW) has offered residents of the City of Guelph and County of Wellington the ability to report information that can help solve crimes, anonymously and confidentially.

CSGW provides an invaluable option for residents who want to stop criminal activity, but for whatever reason, do not want to contact police directly or be involved in the criminal justice system.

While we enjoy respectful and productive relationships with our investigative partners, we understand that may not be the case for all residents.

The CSGW board of directors is united in supporting anti-racism initiatives, standing firmly against hatred and discrimination of any kind, and doing our part to raise awareness for the lives lost in violence and show solidarity for the families and communities most impacted.

This is not a time for mere words. CSGW is taking action to engage with organizations that represent Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) as well as ethnic and religious groups that enrich our communities.

We look forward to inviting them to understand Crime Stoppers’ purpose. More importantly, we look forward to learning from, and working with these organizations to build stronger, more inclusive communities.
