Partnering with Crime Stoppers
We are thrilled to announce the continuation of our valued partnership with Crime Stoppers! We are entering our second year.
We entered the partnership to support the reduction of the auto theft epidemic, which affects not only private individuals but also dealerships. This collaboration is about fostering a safer community for everyone. By working together, we encourage people to anonymously share information about auto thefts, leading to successful investigations and a stronger sense of security.
Rewards up to $300, sponsored by the UCDA, are granted for tips that directly lead to the successful recovery of vehicles stolen from dealerships in Ontario.
We are honoured to be one of the sponsors of the annual Ontario Association of Crime Stoppers conference from June 6-8, 2025 hosted by the Near North Crime Stoppers in North Bay. This pivotal event brings together up to 200 law enforcement professionals, community leaders, volunteers and organizations from across the province to discuss, strategize and drive new initiatives aimed at enhancing community safety and crime prevention. We will be there!
We are also sponsoring Crime Stoppers of Hamilton and their ongoing initiatives dedicated to enhancing community safety.
As they prepare to take on another pressing issue—Automobile Theft—they recognize the UCDA’s leadership in the used car industry and the critical role we play in protecting dealerships and vehicle owners across Ontario.
We have collaborated with them on their Auto-Theft Awareness & Prevention Campaign—a proactive initiative designed to educate communities, deter criminal activity, and safeguard businesses and individuals from theft-related losses.
The UCDA is proud to be a sponsor of this Campaign.
Crime Stoppers of Hamilton offers tailored crime prevention insights from specialists to UCDA members in Hamilton, helping them protect inventory and customers. They’ll also set up booths at member locations to engage customers and promote crime prevention strategies. The local mascot, ”Hammertown Hero”, is available for all ages.
