The Management Board of Crime Stoppers International invited Airline Ambassadors to deliver a presentation at the 38th Annual Crime Stoppers International Conference which took place will be held at the Hilton Panama, Panama City, Panama on October 15th – 18th 2017.
Under the theme “Taking action against transnational crime”, the primary goal of the conference was to determine strategies that can be implemented to counter intellectual property crime and illicit trade as well as related crime areas such as organized crime, money laundering and corruption. The topics to be covered are as follows:
- Crime Stoppers International (CSI) is a global non-profit organization that supports the efforts of law enforcement to help stop, solve and prevent crime. As the umbrella body of Crime Stoppers programmes worldwide, our mission is “to mobilize the world to report crime anonymously”. To accomplish this mission, we provide communities with a platform to report information (tips) on crime along with a guarantee that the identity of the individual who is submitting the tip will never be known. Since the inception of the Crime Stoppers concept in 1976 to date, law enforcement agencies around the world have cumulatively been able to arrest near to 1 million criminals, and seize close to US$9 billion worth of illicit drugs as a result of information provided to Crime Stoppers. It should be noted that CSI maintains a co- operation agreement with INTERPOL and a Memorandum of Understanding with the United Nations Office on Drugs & Crime (UNODC).
