“BOLO” stands for “be on the lookout.” Bolo is a common law enforcement term designating an individual who’s actively wanted.
The Bolo Program amplifies priority wanted notices for which police services have already requested the public’s assistance. In cooperation with Canadian police services and Crime Stoppers programs, they launch amplification campaigns to reach wider audiences for these notices, on multiple platforms and over extended periods of time, and they offer major financial rewards as incentives for citizens to be on the lookout and submit tips to the authorities. In short, they’re reaching you at the right time, at the right place, and by using the right means to encourage you to be on the lookout.
