“We believe the public is our greatest law enforcement resource,” Cowley County Sheriff Dave Falletti stated in the release. “tip411 allows a safe and secure way for community members to share important information with police without the fear of retribution.”
“Two buck deer were poached recently in Millard County,” says Captain Wyatt Bubak with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. “…It didn’t take long before two solid tips came in via the new app. Those tips have been very helpful in moving the case forward.”
“We hear all the time that people didn’t call us for several reasons. Whether it be they didn’t think it was important, they didn’t want to waste our time, or they didn’t want anybody to know they called,” said Brad Kallio, New Hope’s community engagement and crime prevention officer. “This is a great way to kind of circumvent that.”
Like the department’s existing anonymous text a tip system, the new White Plains Police App enables the public to share an anonymous tip with police and lets the officers respond, creating an anonymous two-way conversation.
“We don’t want any barriers. We want to remove all the barriers for people to communicate with us. It could just be a piece of information they want to share with us or it could be information about something they saw,” said Lt. Robin Roeser
