“This gives people an opportunity to reach out. We’re reaching out through media … already. This is just another avenue that maybe we can get that younger generation, that this is how they communicate, this is how we figure we can best reach them,” said Peters.
The new Framingham PD app enables the public to share an anonymous tip with police and lets officers respond back to create an anonymous two-way conversation.
“The biggest thing is they can send anonymous tips,” Chief Love said. “We want to be able to help connect our police department with the public. This is just one powerful tool that we can use to let people reach out to us. The public is our greatest crime-fighting resource.”
“I believe our new Port Wentworth PD app will help to ensure we deliver the high quality of law enforcement our community deserves,” said Captain James Hollingsworth
Chief Johnson talks how to get the app, how to text a tip, and that the program has already been a success.
