Kevin Anderson, the founder of TIPSOFT - the online anonymous reporting system for Crime Stoppers programs worldwide attended the Ontario Association of Crimestoppers 22nd Provincial Conference in Hamilton, Ontario Canada May 30-June3, 2008.
Kevin conducted workshops on his newest 'Version 5' for the Crime Stoppers community board members and police coordinators of Ontairo Crime Stoppers programs.
In one workshop, Kevin spoke to the conference delegates along with Toronto Crime Stoppers School Officer Scott Mills on the topic of "Social Networking - Why is Crime Stoppers on YouTube ?" This video was recorded before this session as a demonstration to the delegates of the power using video sharing sites like YouTube and social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace and many others to communicate the Crime Stoppers message to the public in a timely and effective manner.
You can also see Kevin speak about his online anonymous reporting system from the conference in Hamilton on Facebook in the group 'Toronto Crime Stoppers' at the link http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=6375358322
The value of TIPSOFT software is that you can send an anonymous encrypted tip to a local Crime Stoppers program, and the TIPSOFT software strips your IP Address off of the message, so when it gets forwarded to the investigating police officers, the origin of the tip will never be known.
The anonymity of TIPSOFT is now extended to text messaging tips to Crime Stoppers programs thanks to the dedicated work of Kevin Anderson working together with Eric Jacksh from the Ottawa Crime Stoppers Board.
Crime Stoppers is community members working together with police and the media to help PREVENT crime, help SOLVE crime and assist in locating MISSING CHILDREN and adults.
There are three ways to get information in to Toronto Crime Stoppers in Canada.
1. Phone 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)
2. Click 'Submit A Tip' at http://222tips.com
3. Text TIP312 and your message to CRIMES
The world of online anonymous tips would not exist if it were not for the dedicated work, both locally, and internationally of Mr. Kevin Anderson and his company Anderson Software.

"MORE TIPS THAN A FRIENDLY WAITER"
CRIME STOPPERS
By ROSALYN SOLOMON, 24 HOURS
No tip is too small for Crime Stoppers and January is dedicated to getting that message across.
Toronto police Chief Bill Blair with Det. Larry Straver, Co-ordinator of Toronto's Crime Stoppers program, launched Crime Stoppers Month yesterday at Police Headquarters.
"People in this community are getting fed up, they hate to hear about all these crimes that are going on," Straver said.
"We're getting more tips on violent crimes which is great because no tip is too small. We'll take tips on any type of crime."
Detective Straver attributed the program's success to the media and the community. In 2007, Crime Stoppers received on average 629 tips per month, up from 573 monthly tips the previous year. Also last year, there were 797 cases cleared and more than 500 arrests.
"We need (witnesses) to understand that even a small bit of information can be an important part to help my criminal investigators," Blair said.
Const. Scott Mills, Toronto Crime Stoppers school officer, has been working with young people through Facebook, YouTube and at special events.
"That's where the majority of the violent crimes are happening, amongst our young people, and they're our most cherished assets for the future so we have to communicate with them," Mills said.
Kedre Browne, 19, used his graffiti art to support Crime Stoppers and said having the police reach out to youth builds trust.
"It's important for Crime Stoppers to be around to bridge that gap, not just with the youth but with the community too," Browne said.
Crime Stoppers month is recognized in 24 countries and has also helped to solve more than a million cases worldwide.
