Crime Stoppers
The Ottawa International Airport’s Crime Stoppers project was launched on May 13th 2004, in partnership with the Ottawa Police Crime Stoppers Unit.
Purpose
It was implemented across the airport campus to foster a more community-minded approach to security at the Airport, including jurisdiction within the terminal building, on the ramp, roadways and other airport property.
What is Crime Stoppers?
Crime Stoppers is a community program that helps stop crime in its tracks. It is a vehicle for gathering the clues that law enforcement agencies need to solve major crimes. By offering cash rewards and providing a single number to call with information relating to any crime, Crime Stoppers encourages local citizens to provide clues that can be vital in the solution of a crime. Crime Stoppers have been highly successful in reducing crime rates in many other cities in Canada and the U.S.
How Does Crime Stoppers Work?
Any individual with knowledge of a crime is encouraged to call 613-233-TIPS (613-233-8477) or 1-800-222-TIPS to relay clues or any other information. Callers who wish to remain anonymous may do so, and their information will be identified by a code number. If the information given to Crime Stoppers leads to an arrest, a cash reward may be awarded.
