Police are
appealing to the public to share information on any illegal/suspicious
activities in their communities, no matter how small or insignificant
(the tip) may seem, members of the public are urged to anonymously
contact the police at 919 or crime stoppers at 328-tips (8477) (New
Providence) or 1-242-300-8476 (Family Islands)
WEEKLY PREVENTION CRIME TIP - If a crime occurs – report it!
Everyone should consider it his/her responsibility to report crime. Many
criminals target favorite areas and have predictable methods of
operation. When you report all the facts about a crime, it helps the
police assign officers in the places where crimes are occurring or where
they are most likely to occur. If you don’t report crime, this allows
the criminal to continue to operate without interference.
In many cases, it is the information provided by victims and witnesses
that leads to the arrest of a criminal. So tell the police as much as
you can; no fact is too trivial. The police need the eyes and ears of
all citizens.
