Crimestoppers support The People's March
 The People's March on Saturday 20 September will be the coming together of the nation to make a stand against the current culture of knife crime on Britain's streets, and Crimestoppers are helping to support the day. We'll be marching simultaneously from two London locations - Highbury from the north and Kennington from the south of the river, followed by a peace rally in Hyde Park. Those who can't make it to London for the march are being encouraged to organise their own marches and peace rallies on the day. Read more about The People's March
Shadow CS DVD
 To continue Crimestoppers' youth team's anti-gun and knife crime work, a new educational Shadow CS DVD has been produced. The DVD includes animations of incidents followed by 'what would you do?' discussion points incorporating different scenarios, vox pops from young people on what they think Crimestoppers is and a feature at the Crimestoppers call centre presented by Community Champion Chris Preddie, who explains how calls are taken and how they remain anonymous.
