Crime Stoppers

Members of the public can provide anonymous and confidential information about a crime or potential crime of which they have knowledge.

Tips can be done by phone, online, or through a mobile app. Cash is given for information that leads to a successful arrest.

Names will not be asked and the person reporting the crime will not be asked to appear in court.

Cannabis Record Suspensions

Helps individuals who have completed their sentence for simple possession of cannabis to have their criminal record set apart from other records in the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC). A record suspension removes the criminal record from the CPIC database, meaning that a search of CPIC will not show that the individual has a criminal record or a record suspension.

The Criminal Records Act (CRA) applies only to records kept by federal organizations, but most provincial and municipal criminal justice agencies also restrict access to their records once they are told that a record suspension has been ordered.

Note: Individuals can apply even if they have unpaid fines or victim surcharges. Lawyer or third party service provider is not required to apply.
