HOPA Ports, through its Harbour Master\u2019s Office\/Port Patrol, joined Crime Stoppers of Hamilton and Hamilton Police Service to launch the \u201cCrime Doesn\u2019t Anchor Here\u201d campaign, an initiative designed to enhance crime prevention efforts across port lands in Hamilton. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The campaign is part of a broader, city\u2011wide effort led by Crime Stoppers of Hamilton, building on the successful \u201cCrime Doesn\u2019t Fly Here\u201d initiative launched with John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport.<\/p>\n

The initiative includes awareness training, employee and partner engagement, new signage and posters across port properties, and public\u2011facing safety messaging to help identify and report suspicious or criminal activity.
\n\u201cOur port community spans dozens of industrial tenants, hundreds of vessel calls and thousands of workers annually,\u201d said Vicki Gruber, Director, Safety & Security \/ Harbour Master, HOPA Ports. \u201cWhile the Port operates with robust security measures, this campaign adds another layer of vigilance, empowering our workforce and the public with tools to report suspicious activity and contribute directly to community safety.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis campaign is an important step in strengthening community awareness and a shared responsibility across our waterfront,\u201d said Ali Fahad, ICPS, SAS\u00ae, Chair of Crime Stoppers of Hamilton. \u201cEncouraged by this strategic partnership and the continued support behind it, we are reinforcing simple, anonymous ways for people to speak up when something doesn\u2019t seem right. Together, through this city wide initiative, we are helping to keep our waterfront, and our city as a whole, safe, secure, and welcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Crime Doesn\u2019t Anchor Here campaign is part of a broader, province\u2011wide initiative developed originally by Toronto Crime Stoppers to target transnational and organized crime networks. The program is designed for adaptability across different transportation hubs; including ports, airports, and logistics facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cPartnerships are essential to preventing and reducing crime in our community,\u201d said Chief Frank Bergen, Hamilton Police Service. \u201cWe are proud to expand our collaboration with HOPA Ports and Crime Stoppers to support this initiative and safeguard the people who work, travel and do business along Hamilton\u2019s working waterfront.\u201d
\nEvery time a tip is submitted to Crime Stoppers, it provides police with another opportunity to prevent or solve a crime, while giving the community a safe and confidential way to take action. <\/p>\n
