Campaigns

• Community and basketball in high-crime schools

  Together with the Plymouth Raiders basketball team, we've been visiting high-crime schools to teach children about taking responsibility for their community. We've reached over 1,000 young people and have seen a massive reduction in crime!

• Life skills

  We've been visiting primary schools to teach young people about Crimestoppers and to addess issues that children face when they're about to enter secondary school.

• Local offences board

  In a local school we introduced a 'local offences' board, where we put details of local crimes and asked children from the school to give any information they knew about the crimes.

• Tackling retail crime

  Devon and Cornwall Crimestoppers and Plymouth and South West Co-operative have joined forces to combat retail crime. Retail crime can include anything from threatening behaviour, shoplifting, verbal abuse and violence to both customers and retail staff.

• Tag on a tagger

  We've been promoting 'Tag on a tagger' across Devon and Cornwall to find criminals who have been spoiling their communities with graffiti. One of our Plymouth posters led to an individual admitting to over 40 offences.
