Rustling & Vandalism Reward

The BCCA office offers a reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to a conviction for theft &/or killing of cattle, and damage to property or equipment.  The reward is part of our Vandalert crime prevention program.  The program encourages rural communities to be alert and report information to the RCMP or Crime Stoppers that may help solve rural crimes.  

The process for claiming a reward: 
1) the person claiming the reward must write a letter outlining his/her involvement in the case. This may be done anonymously through the RCMP.
2) BCCA office will seek supporting information from the RCMP & local cattlemen's association.
3) A committee of ranchers will review the information and decide on the amount, if any, to reward.
4) BCCA issues a press release on the granting of the reward. The person receiving the reward will have their name withheld from the media.
