Freeport Police Department launches anonymous tip mobile app, developed by tip411

    The Freeport Police Department (48 sworn officers) is adding to its crime-fighting arsenal with a new mobile app, developed by tip411, to help residents connect with the department to find information, view alerts, and submit anonymous tips.

    “An illegally parked car, it could be a problem house in a neighborhood, it could be, you know, maybe something happened on the streets,” said Freeport Police Chief Matthew Summers. “Somebody doesn’t want to come forward and say something, they could send a tip to an officer.”

    Tips submitted are 100% anonymous, as the technology removes all identifying information before police see the tips. 

    “This will give an avenue where there’s no way the police department will ever know who’s sending a tip in,” Summers said.

    “Everyone plays an important part in helping to make our city safe, beautiful, and a great place to live, work, and play, and that’s why I believe our new Freeport PD app will be an important tool in that work.”
