Bobby on Patrol

As a fund raiser initiative a British Bobby was brought in by Thunder Bay District Crime Stoppers to issue "fines" of $5.00 to patrons of "The Power Centre" on two chances to win prizes of a big screen TV and gasoline.
The Bobby's return airfare to England was not picked up by British Airways nor the Metropolitan Police and he has since found employment with the local Constabulary.

Fundraising Programs

Thunder Bay District Crime Stoppers is a non-profit organization. We depend on the support of the community to help our program function. Whether supporting us through donations or buying a ticket on one of our many raffles the people of Thunder Bay District have always been strong advocates or our program.

Crime Stoppers does not rely on any government funding to run the day-to-day operations of the program. Financial assistance comes in many other forms:

Donations - both from citizens and businesses
Raffles
Explorer Maps sales
Stocked Lakes Booklets sales
Court ordered donations (i.e. someone convicted of a crime is ordered by a judge or justice of the peace to donate money, in essence their fine, to Crime Stoppers.)

Donations from citizens usually come in the form of money. Donations from businesses, however, can come in cash, services or products. For example; local media outlets donate air time or ad space to help promote our "Crime of the Week" features. This expense alone would run into the thousands of dollars every year.

Stocked Lakes Booklets

Thunder Bay District Crime Stoppers has also teamed up with the Ministry of Natural Resources on another idea that's sure to be a hit with anglers and people who love the outdoors.

The Anglers' Guide to Stocked Lakes has all the information you ever wanted to know about stocked lakes in the Thunder Bay District.

Explorer Maps

One of the most unique fundraising ideas Thunder Bay District Crime Stoppers has come up with is a set of Explorer Maps. This set of 10 maps contains some of the most up-to-date information on road locations, snowmobile trails, canoe routes, private property, wildlife sanctuaries, parks, lakes and fish species in those lakes, plus many other details.
