Crimestoppers National Conference

We hosted the biggest event in the Crimestoppers calendar at the end of last year: the National Conference! It was held at Bristol's Mercure Holland House hotel.

More than 150 delegates from all over the UK attended the conference, to share best practice and discuss ways of working together and providing more support to their local communities. The theme was 'Engaging Hard to Reach Communities' and keynote speakers included Michael Laurie CBE, Chief Executive of Crimestoppers, and Colin Port, the Chief Constable of the Avon and Somerset Police.

As a 'thank you' to all the volunteers who give up their time to help us fight crime in our local communities, the Crimestoppers Reception took place on board the award-winning ss Great Britain on the evening before the conference. Volunteers, their guests and VIPs attended the reception. The Lord Mayor of Bristol, the Lord Lieutenant of Bristol, and the High Sheriffs of Bristol, Somerset and Gloucester were among the dignitaries who attended the Reception.
