Opioid Settlement Calls for $50 Billion to be Distributed to State and Local Governments

A historic settlement has been reached with the manufacturers and distributors of opioid pharmaceuticals to be paid directly to state and local government entities in all 50 states.
This is important information for law enforcement agencies across the country to be aware of because this funding stream can be used to fund programs like tip411.

Funding tip411 with settlement money has been approved as a valid expenditure in several jurisdictions due to the nature of our service as it relates to engaging the community to help combat illegal drug use/abuse.

To see how much money your state and local governments received, or are scheduled to receive, please check out the interactive state by state map here:

tip411 is a unique toolset that lets you send outbound alerts to custom branded iPhone and Android apps, email, text and though social media. Citizens can then send you inbound information anonymously, via the app, text and over the web. The best part of tip411 is that that your agency can have a 2-way conversation with the tipster while maintaining their anonymity.

If you like what you have seen here and want to join over 2,000 communities that are having great success in using tip411 to connect their citizens with law enforcement, please contact us. We would be happy to schedule a short, online demo to show you the full capabilities of tip411’s community engagement services.
