Volunteers in regional communities explain how they juggle their busy lives to help others, and what they get out of it.
Jayne Gothmann has been volunteering with the Central Highlands Crime Stoppers Area Committee since 2013.
"It's about the little pieces of the puzzle… those little bits of information that can solve crimes, even historical crimes and help police do their job because they work damn hard." "The more information Crime Stoppers receives, the more information and intel that the police receive and the more crimes get solved," he said."We arrest drink drivers, we take people off the street and we enforce the laws, detect offences but we don't know how many lives we've actually saved at the end of the day."
