Section 132 of the Police Services Act provides that property which comes into the possession of a Police Service as a result of being stolen or abandoned or has been seized by a police officer and no court order exists regarding its disposition may be sold at the discretion of the Chief of Police.

In addition, section 132 sets out the right of a Police Services Board to retain the use of the proceeds of such sale, as well as money that comes into the possession of a Police Service in accordance with section 133 of the Act, for any purpose that it considers in the public interest. This policy sets out the circumstances under which such funds will be maintained, expended and recorded.

Crime Stoppers

Crime Stoppers is a civilian, non profit, charitable organization that brings together the community, the police and the media in the fight against crime.

Crime Stoppers provides citizens with a vehicle to anonymously supply the police with information about a crime or potential crime of which they have knowledge. Cash rewards are offered to people who call the program and their information leads to an arrest.
