Thursday, July 19, 2012       WINNIPEG CRIME STOPPERS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PAW TIPSTERS   Each year, Winnipeg Crime Stoppers receives thousands of tips from members of the public which assist in the solving of crimes in our city.   Recently, Winnipeg Crime Stoppers was approached by PAW Tipsters, a non-profit charitable organization with a focus of combating animal abuse in Manitoba. The aim of the program is to generate tips regarding animal abuse, such as puppy mills and dog fighting rings.   Tips will be received through Crime Stoppers and information forwarded to the appropriate agencies for investigation. Rewards will be awarded based on the outcome of those investigations.   Reporting abuse and cruelty to animals is all of our responsibility.   If you have information on a crime, call Winnipeg Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).       FREE VEHICLE SAFETY INSPECTION CLINIC   The Winnipeg Police Service Vehicle Inspection Section in conjunction with Manitoba Public Insurance Standards and Technologies will be offering a free motor vehicle inspection clinic.
