HOW IT WORKS
Concerned citizens can report information anonymously about unsolved crimes and suspicious or illegal activities by calling the Crime Stoppers TIPS line (1-800-222-8477) or online: https://www.p3tips.com/tipform.aspx?ID=246#
The call center is not connected to emergency services and operates 24 hours 7 days a week. Personal contact information is redacted to ensure complete confidentiality before any TIPS are shared with police to assist with investigations to prevent, stop, or solve a crime.
The Crime Stoppers program is a cooperative between the public, media, and police. Contact information, caller ID, and IP address are never collected ensuring complete confidentiality. Tipsters are protected under the charter by informer privilege and cannot be required to testify in court or report to a police detachment.
