LPS SUSPENDS PARTICIPATION IN CRIME STOPPERS PROGRAM

LONDON POLICE SERVICE SUSPENDS PARTICIPATION IN CRIME STOPPERS FOLLOWING CYBERSECURITY INCIDENT

LONDON, ON (October 23, 2026) – The London Police Service (LPS) is aware of the cybersecurity incident involving Navigate360, the third-party provider of the P3 tip management platform used by Crime Stoppers programs across Canada. We recognize the seriousness of this incident and community concerns about the security of information provided to Crime Stoppers.

London & Middlesex Crime Stoppers is an independent organization. The P3 platform is operated by a third-party vendor and is not connected to LPS information systems or infrastructure.

The anonymity and safety of individuals who come forward with information are fundamental to public trust and to the integrity of police investigations.

The LPS has received confirmation that London & Middlesex Crime Stoppers has been impacted by this incident and is reviewing available information to assess any potential impact on investigations, as well as the safety and privacy of individuals who provided information in support of LPS investigations.

Effective immediately, the LPS is suspending its participation in the Crime Stoppers program. Participation will not resume until the service is satisfied that the platform is secure and that the risks arising from this breach have been fully assessed.

Members of the public with information about a crime or public safety concern are encouraged to contact the London Police Service directly at 519-661-5670. In an emergency, call 9-1-1. Information provided directly to police does not carry the anonymity associated with Crime Stoppers; however, it ensures that information reaches investigators directly.

Questions regarding the cybersecurity breach, the scope of affected information, or measures taken in response should be directed to the Canadian Crime Stoppers Association or London & Middlesex Crime Stoppers.
