Tasmania Police is supporting Crime Stoppers Tasmania for Crime Stoppers Week.

“Keeping our community safe is everyone’s responsibility. By inspiring and empowering people to report crime we can help create a safer Tasmania for our children, for our families, for each other,” said Ron Franks, General Manager of Crime Stoppers Tasmania.

“Throughout the week, will be focusing on helping our communities become safer because of our collective effort. Illicit drugs remain a problem in both regional and metropolitan areas and this is not just an issue for police.

“The solution is outside law enforcement alone; every Tasmanian has a role to play,” he said.

Crime Stoppers provides members of the community with an anonymous option for providing information on suspicious or criminal activity in their community.

“We encourage people to be observant in the community and if they see something suss, take the initiative and if they are in a position to act immediately call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000,” said Mr Franks.
