Jersey winner
IN 2012, A Crimestoppers entry won the ‘Design-an-Ad’ competition in Jersey. Every year the Jersey Evening Post, the island’s newspaper, runs a Design-an-Ad competition. Now in its 32nd year, the majority of the island’s schools take part. Local companies are invited to provide information which is given to schools and teachers to encourage pupils to design an advertisement. Several hundred pupils take part and the overall winners from a primary and secondary school win a cash prize, for both the winning pupils and their schools. On 11 July, the Jersey Evening Post published its Design-an-Ad supplement and the overall winner was Chloe Coxshall with her Crimestoppers design.
Welsh initiative AS A RESulT of calls to Crimestoppers over 5,000 arrests have been made in Wales since 1988. A particularly animal-friendly initiative that has taken place in Wales/Cymru, consisted of joining the charity, Naturewatch and the Countryside Commission for Wales, in 2012 on their campaign to stamp out badger baiting. There has been much intelligence and anecdotal evidence which shows the Cynon Valley area of South Wales as a ‘hot spot’ for this criminal activity. The initiative aimed to flush out those gangs involved in this clandestine pastime and received the support of Ann Clwyd MP.
