Crime Stoppers, it gives me great pleasure to present to you the 2011 Prince Edward Island Crime Stoppers’ Awareness Guide. This guide is intended to provide an overview of our program and as a vehicle to thank our many supporters and partners. This year marks the 22nd year of operation for Prince Edward Island Crime Stoppers. This year, we placed special emphasis on upgrading and improving our website and social media presence as well as overall awareness of our program on the Island. As a result, we have seen a marked increase in our overall tips received and web-based tips received. We also continue to work closely with our law enforcement and media partners to ensure Islanders are aware of crime and crime prevention. It continues to be my privilege to serve on the PEI Crime Stoppers Board of Directors as President along with the many other committed volunteers, all of whom share a passion in working together to promote safety and well-being within our Island homes and communities. A very special "thank you" to each of you and to the many other volunteers who continue to support us. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those anonymous callers to our "tipline" who continue to assist law enforcement agencies. Your calls do make a difference in the lives of those affected by crime! To those who have supported us financially, again a big “Thank You.” As our program relies entirely on donations from private citizens, organizations, local business, government and fund raising activities, all contributions are significant. We have been proud of our record in serving communities throughout Prince Edward Island, and it is through this financial support that we continue to be able to operate our program. We are very appreciative of current financial supporters and count on your continued support in the future. Our collective efforts are making Prince Edward Island a better place to live and do business. Sincerely, Gary Bowness President P.E.I.

PEI Crime Stoppers began in 1988, and since that time, 5,158 calls, and now web tips which already number close to 500, have been a key component to solving 974 cases, making 671 arrests and the recovery of well over 2.6 million dollars in stolen property and drugs seized. The numbers speak for themselves and indicate that everyone on Prince Edward Island understands the effectiveness of a community policing a community, and no one entity does so alone. Crime Stoppers is a partnership of many including Island media who quickly respond to issues that are highlighted through tips from the public. Together, police agencies across Prince Edward Island work with the information provided by concerned citizens and promoted by media. It is this community network that ensures the work of Crime Stoppers can be as successful as it has been over the years. “L” Division RCMP on Prince Edward Island is honoured to be part of the PEI Crime Stoppers and this, the Annual Awareness Guide. The RCMP on the Island has a long history with PEI Crime Stoppers’ Manager/Coordinator, Phil Pitts as a retired member of our Division. Phil continually works closely with our employees and all policing agencies across Prince Edward Island to assist in solving crimes in our local communities. I commend all those who have called in to the “tip line” for your willingness to be involved in their own safety and taking part in activities that continue to create safe environments for all to enjoy. It is something that Crime Stoppers also should be proud of; but, it is also something that every Islander should be proud of as well. It’s a partnership with a great track record. On behalf of the RCMP on Prince Edward Island, I would like to thank the volunteer Board as well as the many members of our community who provide direction and support to the Crime Stoppers program through fund raising, public awareness, education and numerous other activities on a volunteer basis. I also congratulate PEI Crime Stoppers for the many years of service to Islanders and visitors to our province and wish everyone involved many more years of success!

Paul Smith Prince Edward Island On behalf of the Charlottetown Police Department, I wish to congratulate PEI Crime Stoppers on this their 22nd year of operation and for producing their 14th Annual Awareness Guide. Addressing the issue of crime is one, which is done on many fronts, involving many individuals, groups and organizations. A key in dealing with crime and helping with crime prevention is through participation, prevention and increased awareness. The Crime Stoppers program is an integral part in the fight against crime. Through its program and awareness guide, our communities are provided with an anonymous means to report crimes they may have witnessed or about which they may have obtained information, which contributes to community safety in a very real way. In addition, the production of the guide also provides information that can help safeguard against crime. Information and leads that are provided to Crime Stoppers assist police in the solving of crimes that have been committed and prevent the perpetrators from victimizing others. Through PEI Crime Stoppers, close to 1,000 criminal cases have been solved, with more than 1.5 million dollars in drugs and just over 1 million dollars in property being seized. Tips provide police and others with valuable insight into the crime trends in our communities and neighbourhoods. Better awareness leads to better prevention, which ultimately leads to safer communities. Crime Stoppers cannot operate without dedicated, hard-working people. Charlottetown Police Services is proud to work with the Volunteer Board and the Program Coordinator, Phil Pitts. These individuals and the many sponsors of the program recognize the value and positive impact that Crime Stoppers has within our community. Thank you to Crime Stoppers for helping keep our Island communities safe and strong. A. Paul Smith Chief of Police Charlottetown Police Services www.peicrimestoppers.com 9 “ We wish to congratulate PEI Crime Stoppers for their tremendous work in the past and look forward to working with the program in the future.” PUBLIC NOTICE AVIS PUBLIC Help Protect Our Aquatic Species Protégeons nos espèces aquatiques Did you know that there are aquatic species in our waters that may be at risk of disappearing?

David Poirier Crime Stoppers Prince Edward Island Congratulations once again, to PEI Crime Stoppers for continuing their good work in producing their Annual Awareness Guide. Since the program began on PEI in 1989, over 970 cases have been solved, 671 arrests have been made as a results of tips, and well over 2.6 million dollars in stolen property and drugs seized. This program is one of the greatest crime fighting resources we have at our disposal, and it must remain as an integral component in assisting law enforcement officials in solving crime. No matter where you live in this great country, or whether you are served by the RCMP or a municipal police service, Crime Stoppers plays a significant role in identifying criminals and bringing them to justice. Crime Stoppers has always provided citizens with a vehicle to anonymously supply the police with information about a crime or potential crime of which they have knowledge and cash rewards are offered to people who call the program and their information leads to an arrest. All of us must practice good crime prevention habits and do simple things such as always locking the doors on your home and vehicles, and give your home that ‘lived in look’ while you are away. Before leaving on a trip, leave the keys with trusted neighbors who can turn your radio and lights on and off at sporadic times. Also your neighbor can open and close your curtains, bring in your newspaper and all flyers, mow your lawn and keep your walkway clear of snow in the winter. Also if you have no vehicle in the driveway, ask a neighbor to park theirs in your driveway while you are away. Also keep in mind that the door to the house from the garage area should be as solid as all exterior entrances and equipped with the same type of safety lock. These practices all help to reduce the opportunity for would-be criminals to strike. Criminals strike when they have the opportunity and if everyone takes the time to crime-proof their property, this reduces the opportunity for the crime to occur in the first place. All police agencies must partner with Crime Stoppers and the media so the program can help officers solve crimes. The media is a very important component of Crime Stoppers. An unsolved crime can be re-enacted and shown on television or may be publicized in a newspaper or aired on radio so the media brings the program to the attention of the public. Finally, citizens must play an active role in community safety by coming forward anonymously with information in relation to crimes. The police needs the community and the community needs the police. Thank you and congratulations once again on another successful year. We all look forward to hearing about your continued success in helping to keep communities safe across our great province. J.

The stats alone show how important Crime Stoppers is to the policing community in the province and the residents of the Island. Since Crime Stoppers started in 1989, there have been 5,914 tips to date. This is impressive. It shows that the residents of Prince Edward Island are interested in living in a safe environment, and are willing to help participate in making this happen. I feel it necessary to commend the Board of Directors and the present Coordinator, Phil Pitts, for the outstanding job that they are doing. Organizations of this type need to have a strong board of directors, and certainly this is what we have here on the Island. The year 2011 marks the 14th year of the Crime Stoppers Awareness Guide. The guide itself is a very informative magazine listing unsolved crimes that have taken place here on the Island, as well as crime prevention information. This magazine could not be made possible without the many sponsors that you will see as you read the Awareness Guide. The Crime Stoppers’ motto “We want your information, not your name,” is what the Crime Stoppers program is all about. You can get involved; report a crime, get paid for your information, and remain anonymous. Persons with information about criminal activity should give Crime Stoppers a call at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Thank you Crime Stoppers—keep up the great work!

As an organization, Crime Stoppers is a vehicle that allows citizens to ANONYMOUSLY supply the police with information about a crime or potential crime of which they have knowledge without fear of reprisal. In PEI, we have enjoyed great success over the years. Since our inception in 1989 to the end of the 2010 calendar year, we have provided information to law enforcement that has resulted in the solving of 974 criminal cases, 671 arrests and the recovery/seizure of over $2,600,000.00 of illicit drugs and stolen property. Last year saw a number of significant achievements and advancements in technology that are outlined in the Coordinator’s annual report. These achievements have been achieved for a number of reasons: the work of our board, cooperation of our partners, support from businesses and governments but most importantly, the support of the public. Your contributions to our organization are what keeps it growing. When I say contributions, I really mean many things. Obviously, financially, we could not operate without your support. The strong support and positive comments we receive from the community at large at trade shows, parades and community events also mean a lot to our organization. Finally, without information from our tipsters, PEI Crime Stoppers would not be the effective tool it is in fighting crime in PEI. Having said that, as I did last year, I would like to congratulate and thank our tipsters, volunteers, partners and previous Coordinators who have, over the past 21 years, given of their time and talents to make PEI Crime Stoppers what it is today. I would encourage you to visit our website www.peicrimestoppers.com to gain additional insight into our organization. We live in a wonderful province and enjoy, for the most part, a very safe place to live and do business. We have made progress in keeping it this way but our work is not finished. Together we can make a difference. Phil Pitts Coordinator/Manager PEI Crime Stoppers www.peicrimestoppers.com 17 MacKinnon Bros. Service Centre On behalf of the Town of Stratford, I wish to congratulate PEI Crime Stoppers for their tremendous work in the past and look forward to working with the program in the future. The Crime Stoppers Awareness Guide will inform the public how they can take part in this crime solving - crime prevention undertaking, and in doing so will make our community a safer place to live and conduct business. All the best to PEI Crime Stoppers.

It has been a year of learning, new experiences, challenges and friendships that I have enjoyed. During the year, we have had many changes with our Coordinator/Program Manager Paul Stetson moving on after 14 years at the helm, as well as our Secretary and 20-year Director, Doug Gallant, and former Vice-President, Lisa Dennis. At the same time, we welcomed new Board members Amy McKenna, Tanya Mullaly, Jason Hughes, Scott Chapman and returning member, Jaime Bell. For the first time since 1996, this report is not being delivered by Paul. I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge the solid foundation Paul, Doug and Lisa have left for our current Board of Directors and I to build on. Paul continues to be a source of knowledge and experience that I have called upon more times than I would want to mention over the past year. While there have been many changes and activities, I will try to highlight a few that I feel are significant: This report outlines some of the work we have done and would not have been achieved without the support and encouragement of our media and law enforcement partners. I thank them and our volunteer Board for their support and hard work. I also thank the community service groups, government, businesses and the public for their financial support of our program. Lastly, I would like to thank the people who call our tip line or submit SMS and Web based tips. While our work is not finished, together we are making our communities better places to live and do business. DEVELOPMENT OF A MISSION STATEMENT AND STRATEGIC PLAN A Mission Statement and Strategic Plan were developed over the past year by a dedicated planning committee. In support of the work of the committee, a one-day planning session was held on June 7th, 2010, involving Board members, policing and media representatives as well as other partners and stakeholders. The plan that was subsequently developed will provide the foundation and road map for our organization over the next 1-3 years to ensure we remain focused on our mandate, values and vision within our organization’s capacity.

Special thanks to Board member Amy McKenna for her work and continued support on this endeavor. The increase in the number of tips submitted via the Web is quite significant, demonstrating that this upgrade has already paid dividends. CRIME STOPPERS INTERNATIONAL TRAINING CONFERENCE With this international conference being held in Halifax this year we were able to send a large contingent at a nominal cost to an event only one or two, if any, would have been able to attend in the past because of travel costs. It was a wonderful learning experience for all who attended with overviews of new national and international programs and ideas presented as well as new networks established worldwide. During this conference our former Coordinator, Paul Stetson, was formally recognized by Canadian Crime Stoppers for his work in establishing the program in PEI and his excellent work at the national level over the years. Crime Stoppers Prince Edward Island website; our Facebook and Twitter presence and an overall increase in public awareness of our program. Both the Charlottetown Police and PEI Crime Stoppers websites provide a direct link to our Tip Soft web submit feature making it very easy to submit tips in this fashion as opposed to the traditional phone call. The number of tips submitted via the web saw a dramatic increase from 70 in 2009 to 338 in 2010. The program saw overall tips for crimes reported by Charlottetown City Police, for instance, increased from 88 in 2009 to 361 in 2010 while the number of tips received overall for our program went from 249 to 614 in 2010. Our arrest and solved cases numbers also moved up though not as dramatically as the number of tips received. I do expect these numbers to increase as we receive disposition reports for the last few months of 2010. Over the 2010 calendar year, tips contributed to the clearance of 41 criminal offenses and the arrest of 34 individuals for these offenses as well as 10 fugitives wanted on outstanding warrants. These offenses included theft, drug trafficking, a drug grow operation, fraud, assault, property damage, as well as residential and business break and enters. In addition, a significant number of tips are considered as information only or intelligence that may not lead directly to an arrest but keep the law enforcement community aware of individuals or groups actively involved in crime in their communities. INCREASE IN DISPOSITION REPORTS RECEIVED An important part of our program is our ability to tell our story to ensure continued support. The law enforcement community plays an important role in this since we rely on them to investigate and report back to us on the disposition of the tips received. Our planning session in June identified this as an area for improvement going forward. Information sessions were held in an effort to increase our feedback and I can report we have gone from an overall 38% return rate in 2009 to a 64 % return rate for 2010. While obviously there remains work to be done we are headed in the right direction. With the continued support of our policing partners I am confident this will improve to a more acceptable level. INCREASE IN TIPS RECEIVED The year 2010 saw a significant increase in tips received. We feel this can be attributed to several factors such as the new Charlottetown Police Services website; upgrades to our www.peicrimestoppers.com Some examples of reports received back from law enforcement edited to protect the identity of the tipster: Drug Trafficking - RCMP Cst. XX advises that this tip was the impetus for the investigation and contributed significantly to the arrest of the accused on drug trafficking charges as well of the seizure of narcotics and monies.

To help make it an even safer place for our children, these safety tips have been compiled to help prepare both parents and children to deal with threatening situations. REMEMBER, while very few children are actually at risk, you should not allow your child to become vulnerable to risks that can be avoided. The following tips will not completely protect your child, however, they will increase the level of awareness. This page has been designed to present the information to your children in a non-threatening manner; please adopt this style as you discuss personal safety with your child. Remember to teach your children according to their age and ability to understand. Prince Edward Island door, teach your children to tell the stranger that you are busy, and he/she should go away and come back later. Teach your child not to engage in conversation with the visitor. If the child feels threatened, teach him to phone an emergency number. Emergency numbers could be your telephone number at work, that of the police or a trusted neighbor who will be home; • Where possible, your children should play and walk with other children; • Your children should always ask your permission before accepting gifts from strangers; • To avoid situations where strangers may approach your child alone, such as an unsupervised play area, empty lots, abandoned buildings and bushy area of parks. To run home or to the nearest public place, if someone is following or frightening your child; Always Teach Your Children • To know their full name, age, telephone number, area code, city and province; • How to phone long distance in an emergency, by dialing direct or with the operators assistance; and how to contact you, or another close relative in an emergency. How to contact a trusted neighbor, police, fire or ambulance services and when to make these calls; • When children are home alone they should tell phone callers that you are there, but you are busy and cannot come to the phone. The phoning party can call back later. Teach your child to cut short any phone calls with strangers and hang up the telephone if a stranger continues to talk; • If someone follows your child in a car, they should turn around and get away. Run home or the nearest public place such as a school, store, or office. Your child should also try to remember what the driver and car looked like or its license number; that adults, especially strangers, rarely ask children for help in finding things, or for directions. Explain to your child that both men and women are strangers; • If your child becomes separated from you in a store or shopping mall, to go directly to a store employee or cashier for help; and that police officers who wear uniforms are their friends and that they can be trusted if your child is in trouble. It is for this reason that you should never use the police as a threat to your child. This will confuse their image of the police. • When children are home alone, find out the identity of the person who comes to the door, without opening the door.

Inform the school or daycare centre of whom to notify if your child does not arrive at school, including an emergency number if you cannot be reached; • To make a quick mental note of your child's clothing each day to aid in the search if your child becomes lost; • To maintain up-to-date records which include a recent photograph of your child, his height and weight, medical and dental histories, and if you wish a video tape and fingerprint records. These records are valuable tools if your child becomes lost; • To avoid clothing and toys which prominently display your child's name. Children are less likely to fear a stranger who knows their name; • To interview and check with other parents to ensure all potential baby sitters are trustworthy; • To know all of your children's friends, their families and their phone numbers. Insist that your child ask for permission to visit his friends; • If your child must use the washroom in a public place, always accompany him, or ask another adult whom you trust to take him. Your child should never play or loiter near public washrooms or public changing rooms; • To accompany your child door-to-door activities, such as Halloween or school fund raising campaigns; • Pre-school children should never be left alone or be unsupervised in or out of the home; and • Your children should always ask permission of you, a guardian or a teacher before they accept rides with strangers. Use a pre-selected secret code word with your child, and those whom you may ask to give your child a ride. Where necessary, change the code word with your child after it has been used for a period of time, or in those situations where it may become known by persons who do not have a need to know.

Every person should be aware of these crimes and how to prevent them. CON GAMES AND SWEET TALK CRIMES Pigeon drop This scheme accounts for more than half of the confidence games reported to police. The swindlers claim to have found a large sum of money and offer to share it with you. You are asked to withdraw "good faith" money from your bank. The swindlers take the "good faith" money and give you a phoney address where you are to collect your share of the money. You never see them again. Bank examiner A phoney bank examiner contacts you and asks for your help in catching a dishonest bank employee. He asks you to withdraw a specified amount of cash from your account so that he may check the serial numbers. After turning over your money to the examiner, you never hear from him again. Door-to-door sales Many door-to-door sales are not legitimate. Provincial laws protect you against quick sales at your door. Enquire and be sure. MAIL FRAUD SCHEMES Consumer frauds Beware of contests which require you to put up money to win, even if there is a guarantee that you will be a winner. Home improvement offers Beware of tempting home improvement offers, made through the mail or on-the-spot. These offers are a popular type of swindle. Retirement estates Any retirement estates offered at conspicuously low prices to "lucky" individuals are usually fraudulent and should be avoided. Business opportunities Business opportunities and work-at-home schemes which promise high profits after a substantial investment or registration fee are often fraudulent. Medical frauds Fake laboratory tests, miracle cures, and mail order clinics, etc. are other ways schemed to defraud you. Legitimate doctors and hospitals do not advertise through the mail. FOR YOUR PROTECTION • Do not rush into something involving your money or property. • Beware of something-for-nothing or get-richquick schemes. • Never sign a contract until you and your lawyer, banker or other expert has thoroughly read it. • Never turn over large sums of cash to anyone, especially a stranger, no matter how promising the deal looks. • Do not hesitate to check the credentials of a salesman or public official. • Report all suspicious offers to the police immediately, before the swindler leaves town in search of other victims. • Arrange for incoming cheques to be sent directly to your bank. Contributed by: Chain referral schemes These schemes offer a commission for buying one item and selling additional ones to friends. The products are usually over-priced and difficult to sell. www.peicrimestoppers.com 33 WEST PRINCE BOOKKEEPING LTD. General Accounting & Computerized Bookkeeping P.O. Box 29 Elmsdale, P.E.I.

Human trafficking is a global and multi-faceted phenomenon. This modern form of slavery is characterized by the exploitation of women, men and children who are deprived of liberty. The United Nations has stated that human trafficking is tied with illegal arms sales as the second largest criminal activity in the world. sectors of the Canadian population represent a potential pool of trafficking victims. This includes teenage runaways, as well as those who may be lured to urban centres or who migrate there voluntarily. The Promises Made to the victims • • • • • • • • Money Work Education Freedom The life of your dreams Financial help for the family A better life A promising future How to Recognize victims: We’re Talking Human Trafficking – Not Human Smuggling While the two terms are often used interchangeably, it is important to distinguish between human trafficking and human smuggling. The major difference involves matters of exploitation. What’s the Difference? HUMAN SMUGGLING is a form of illegal migration involving the organized transport of persons across an international border, usually in exchange for a sum of money, and sometimes involving dangerous conditions. The relationship between the smuggler and the person being smuggled is a voluntary business transaction, which usually ends when the client reaches the intended destination. The financial component of a human smuggling transaction may be a one-time fee paid to the smuggler. HUMAN TRAFFICKING involves the exploitation of people through force, coercion, threat, fraud or deception and may include acts generally defined as human rights abuses. Victims may be forced into labour, prostitution or some other form of servitude. The relationship between trafficker and victim does not end upon arrival at destination, as the victim may be subjected to debt bondage (forced labour to pay off a debt). Unlike human smuggling, HUMAN TRAFFICKING occurs both across international borders and within national boundaries. International Human Trafficking involves someone who, in the process of being trafficked, crosses an international border. Although it may include an element of human smuggling, internationally trafficked persons do not necessarily enter a country clandestinely or illegally. They may enter with a valid passport, visa or working papers. Domestic Human Trafficking While human trafficking is usually associated with migrant victims being trafficked into Canada, it may also be a purely domestic phenomenon occurring wholly within Canada. Vulnerable, economically challenged and socially dislocated 56 The victims may: • Speak neither English nor French, or may not speak on their own behalf; • Originate from foreign countries; • Be unaware of local surroundings even though they have been in the area for an extended period of time; • Show evidence of control, intimidation or abnormal psychological fear; • Not be able to move or leave a job; • Have bruises or show other signs of abuse; • Show signs of malnourishment; • Be frequently accompanied by their trafficker; • Be frequently moved by their trafficker. What is the victim’s Mindset? The victims may: • Not self-identify as victims of human trafficking. Victims may not appear to need social services because they have a place to live, food to eat, medical care and what they think is a paying job; • Be taught to distrust outsiders, especially law enforcement. They have a sense of fear and distrust toward the government and police (i.e. fear of deportation in international cases); • Feel better in their current situation than where they came from, even if they are being exploited; • Be completely unaware of their rights or may have been intentionally misinformed about their rights in Canada; • Fear for their families or loved ones as some traffickers may threaten to harm them if they report their situations to, or cooperate with, law enforcement. If you or someone you know is being exploited, contact your local police. If you wish to report a crime anonymously, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
