Toronto Crime Stoppers

Toronto Crime Stoppers Constable Scott Mills' mandate is to build healthy relationships between youth, the community and police. He promotes the anonymous reporting of tips to prevent or solve crime through the Crime Stoppers Tip Line, 1-800-222-TIPS, online at www.222tips.com and by text message TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637).

Constable Mills presents on a full-time basis to students, school staff, parents, community members and law enforcement at schools, and at community events across the city of Toronto. In 2007, he was the visionary behind the use of video sharing Web sites, like YouTube, and social networking Web sites, like Facebook, to build trust with youth, and to make appeals for information in unsolved homicide, robbery, missing person, arson and sexual assault cases. This medium of communication with the public has also proven valuable to warn the public about sexual predators.

As of September 2008, Constable Mills has posted close to 1,000 videos on YouTube and Facebook that celebrate positive youth engagement between police and youth, and appeal for information in unsolved cases. He works tirelessly to engage the creative talents of young people, some of whom come in negative contact with the law, in a restorative justice and community-building model using street art as a theme in the downtown Toronto core.

He is also very involved with the Argos Foundation's Stop the Violence, a registered charitable organization using a football theme as a vehicle to engage all citizens in violence prevention in our communities.

In summary, Constable Mills can present on a number of topics. The theme of any message that he presents is creating healthy relationships between youth, the police and their communities.
