TIPS by Peel Crime Stoppers - Epi 87 - Honouring Greg MacAleese: The Legacy Behind Crime Stoppers

In this special tribute episode of TIPS by Peel Crime Stoppers, host Julia Vellucci shares a few heartfelt words in memory of Greg MacAleese, the visionary founder of the global Crime Stoppers movement who passed away on November 3, 2025. Nearly 50 years ago, Greg’s idea gave communities around the world including right here in Peel, a safe and anonymous way to speak up and help prevent crime.

His legacy continues to make a difference in countless lives today. Julia then turns it over to former host Brendan Lang, as we re-air his past interview with Greg (episode 25) and also features an interview with Cal Millar, the author of a few books on Crime Stoppers. This is a powerful conversation that captures the passion, purpose, and humanity behind a movement that changed the face of community safety. Thank you, Greg, for inspiring a safer world.
