(L to R) Inspector Dave Shuttleworth from Manitoba North District Operations, Kathy Hinds, and Thompson Crimestoppers board member Norma Leahy (RCMP).

A longtime Crimestoppers volunteer has been recognized by the organization for her service. 

Last week Manitoba North District Operations Officer Inspector Dave Shuttleworth presented Kathy Hinds with an award of appreciation for her service with the Manitoba Crimestoppers board.

Hinds tells us she’s been involved with Crimestoppers in both Thompson and Winnipeg:

"I’ve been volunteering in the Thompson board since the early 70’s and I’ve been with the Winnipeg board since the 80’s. I joined the board because I just wanted to stop the crime that was going on".

Hinds says the recognition is a beautiful gesture, and despite being involved for so many years, she says she has no plans of stopping her involvement.
