Northern BC Crime Stoppers wrapped up its 40th year with a significant milestone.
The program not only reached, but surpassed the $40 million mark in total property, cash and drugs seized since its inception in 1985.
Vice President Ron Polillo said they’re thrilled to have reached that significant total.
“It’s really a testament to the program and its effectiveness, how it works and how residents of northern B.C. have really come to rely on it, trust it, and give information that leads to results, to arrests and seizures.”
Last year, the program received 980 tips from 30 communities in the north, and recovered $279,590.
Polillo said that number is comparable to previous years, with 2024 seeing 979 tips processed, recovering $371,400.
Northern BC Crime Stoppers will be at the up coming 2026 Sirens Cup at Prince George’s Kopar Memorial Arena on January 31st to mark Crime Stoppers month, give information about the program, and add one or two new board members.
