Public Statement – Crime Stoppers Cybersecurity Incident
The Gananoque Police Service is aware of the reported cybersecurity incident involving the third-party
P3 tip management platform used by Crime Stoppers organizations across Canada. We recognize the
seriousness of this incident and the importance of protecting the confidentiality and safety of individuals
who provide information to support public safety and criminal investigations.
The reported incident involves a third-party Crime Stoppers platform and not Gananoque Police
systems, networks, or databases. The Navigate360 platform is not connected to Gananoque Police IT
infrastructure.
As a precaution, Gananoque Police has suspended the use of Crime Stoppers as a reporting channel
while monitoring developments and assessing any potential impacts.
Members of the public wishing to report a crime or public safety concern are encouraged to contact
Gananoque Police directly at 613-382-4422 or 613-382-4509.
The safety of our community and the protection of public trust remain our priorities. Questions
regarding the scope of the incident or potentially affected information should be directed to the appropriate Crime Stoppers organization.
