WINDSOR, ONT., -- Essex County OPP are issuing a reminder to "See Something, Say Something".
Officers say they often rely on statements from victims or witnesses to be able to lay charges in a case.
“However, we recognize there are times people with information may be reluctant to come forward in person,” said a news release from police. “You can still assist by using the anonymous reporting options for submitting information to Crime Stoppers.”
Crime Stoppers programs are locally-operated, not-for-profit charities and the only charity dedicated to helping the police solve crime.
The telephone reporting option is available, but with the advancement of the internet, the program now offers the opportunity to submit information online and in numerous different languages.
