The Board of Directors governs the program for the Island. The Board is responsible for monitoring the Crime Stoppers operation. They also raise the reward fund and meet monthly to determine what reward amounts callers should receive. It is a demanding task for volunteers, but the success of Crime Stoppers testifies to the incredible job performed by these boards. The program has three partners: the community, the media and law enforcement. Crime Stoppers encourages members of the community to assist law enforcement agencies in the fight against crime by overcoming two key elements that inhibit community involvement: Fear and Apathy. The goal of PEI Crime Stoppers is "to make Prince Edward Island Communities a safer place to live and conduct business." Police services across the Island enthusiastically support Crime Stoppers as do government agencies with enforcement responsibilities. The Co-ordinator is responsible for the tips line, media releases, liaising with the Board of Directors and maintaining a rapport with enforcement agencies. The community component (the Board) is responsible for program policy, fund-raising, promotions, development of short and long-term planning and keeping financial records. The media donate their time, space and professional opinion on the creation and placement of "unsolved crime" stories such as the "Crime of the Week". Without the media contribution, the Crime Stoppers message would not get out to the potential caller.
