Some of those 51 crimes—which include murders and missing persons—date back decades.
Since the program was launched in Oct. 2006, a number of individuals have called the Department of Justice with information about cases in the program, but none of the tips has lead to an arrest.
"Oftentimes, it may be a seemingly insignificant detail that helps officers resolve a case," said Halifax Regional Police Chief Frank Beazley.
