Spreading the Word

One of our very active Board Members, David Green, has been very successful during 2007 carrying out awareness events with many organisations.

Firstly, David has been training new police recruits about the service that Crimestoppers offer the police, namely passing on information to them that may help them advance an investigation. David ensures that the new police officers fully understand that the information we pass onto them is totally anonymous but that it may provide signposts towards where they can get intelligence and evidence that they can use to solve a crime.

Secondly, David has been running a series of fun educational days with sixth form students across Hertfordshire. The students have been learning about how Crimestoppers in Hertfordshire helps the police, trading standards and immigration solve crime. The students learn why Crimestoppers is an independent charity and how the information is kept anonymous.

David will be teaching other Board Member of Hertfordshire Crimestoppers about his awareness programme so it can be rolled out across the county even more during 2008.
