Crime Stoppers Dominica got a boost recently when the National Bank of Dominica (NBD) donated $2,000 to the organization.
The donation will go towards administrative costs and fund rewards to crime stoppers.
At the presentation of the cheque Managing Director of NBD, Michael Bird, described the initiative as “a bold step in addressing a societal problem.”
“NBD is proud to support Crime Stoppers Dominica and we are confident that this initiative will strengthen our collective ability to positively impact crime prevention in this country,” he stated.
With this donation, NBD will be one of the early private sector sponsors of the Crime Stoppers Dominica programme, which aims to assist the authorities to solve and stop crime.
Representative of Crime Stoppers, Gregor Nassief, said the contribution will go a long way in assisting the organization in its quest to solve and deter crime in Dominica. “Crime Stoppers Dominica is proud to recognize NBD as a supporter of the programme” he said. “Their support speaks to the importance that the Dominican society is placing on stemming any escalation in crime.”
He is of the hope that other members of the business community will “make similar commitments to help create positive social change.”

Looking good Mr B.
I have to say I cannot get used to the DBS as they keeping saying the word ‘ PERSONS’ . I only hear this term in the uk when they are looking for a criminal or in a court of law and it is so annoying to hear it every five mins .Just say PEOPLE. PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE.
WHY CANT SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME MONEY TOO i need a shoe give me a two grand to buy a shoe nor
that is what you call petriotic dominican. people who care and try to assist in the development of one country. Thanks you Crime stoppers, that is a great move. blessings to all.
I think the bank’s donation to such an important organization (Crime Stoppers)is too small. A bank like this which boost of profit in millions, should give more than $2000.
On behalf of the public thank you to NBD for this donation and to the people who are working to try to make this work. Crime is everyone’s business because we do not know when it will walk into our lives / homes. Let us all work at making Dominica a safer place for ourselves and for our families. Let us give up these people that we know are involved in crime in our communities.
