The Rockland County DA’s office says it has seen a more than 40% increase in people using its tip411 mobile app this year over 2019. The top three most reported crimes this year are domestic violence, drugs, and violations of the state’s coronavirus safety guidelines.
“Some tips don’t need immediate attention,” Andrew said. Others need to be addressed right away. The dispatch center will monitor incoming tips and triage the calls to determine if they need to be brought to the department’s attention immediately.”
“A thousand percent improvement over the system we did have… We probably get about a tip a day and just had someone send us video of an armed robbery that helped us solve it.”
The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office is increasing its crime-fighting arsenal with a new app to help residents connect with the Sheriff’s Office to find information, view alerts, and submit anonymous tips from their smartphone.
tip411 is a simple and effective tool that both law enforcement and the public can rely on during this time and in the future.
