Claude Parent says, "While we've had remarkable success over the years with our 613 233-TIPS phone number, we added the ability for people to submit tips via crimestoppers.ca last year and saw our tips skyrocket. Now, we're expecting even more response by letting people text their tips from a cell phone. Many people have grown up with cell phones and the Internet, and Crime Stoppers needs to allow them to send tips whatever way makes them the most comfortable."
