In this second conversation with Crime Stoppers International CEO Hayley Van Loon, the focus turns to how the organisation works across borders to support the reporting of transnational organised crime. She explains the relationship between Crime Stoppers International and regional Crime Stoppers programmes, and why the international model is especially valuable when crimes involve multiple jurisdictions, different platforms and complex money flows.
The interview also explores Hayley’s vision for the organisation’s future, including stronger support for law enforcement, closer public-private collaboration and the development of a global intelligence fusion centre. Alongside practical examples of anonymous reporting and international partnerships, she reflects on what drew her to the role and the early achievements that stand out most, including a new cybercrime bounty programme launched with Fortinet.
