“We quantify our success with tip411 based solely on the fact that even one case solved because of a tip received via tip411 is a benefit since that case would not have been solved without it.”
PIO Alexandra Ovington Arlington Heights, IL Police Department
“In our first full year of use, we received a little over 200 tips. In 2018, we received over 4,200.”
Sgt. Kevin Fair Atlantic City, NJ Police Department
“The biggest problem we saw was our citizens were wanting to help us and give us information but they did not want to be associated with the case and be looked at as a “narc” and, unfortunately with Facebook, as much as you make your profile private, there is always ways around it. There is no better time than now to gain the trust and respect from your community.”
Officer Caitlin Horne Bismarck, ND Police Department
“tip411 is essential to community policing.”
Chief Anthony Holloway St. Petersburg, FL Police Department
“The fact that our officers have a direct line to contact the tip submitter without breaking the anonymous nature of the system allows for immediate updates while investigating tips.”
Captain Lee Ellis South Carolina Department of Natural Resources
“We can send alerts to the entire city. Our captains can send out alerts to their areas and I can respond to you but I have no idea who you are nor can I ever find out who you are because that information gets scrubbed before it ever gets to us.”
Assistant Chief Gail Struss Allentown, PA Police Department
“What’s notable is the everyday success we’re having with the system that we hadn’t seen before. We’re getting more tips, closing more cases, and being able to continue anonymous tip conversations with reporting party rather than just getting a voicemail with a piece of information that isn’t enough to help us build a case off of.”
Capt. Dan Brogan Onondaga County, NY Sheriff’s Office
“I can see why somebody wouldn’t want to call 911 on their neighbors and give a name and address and all that stuff. For those fearing repercussions from calling the police tip411 can provide peace of mind. They don’t have to live in fear that their neighbor’s going to find out they used tip411.”
Captain Ryan George Fridley, MN Police Department
“Communication is vital to our residents…and tip411 provides a great tool for our Police Department to communicate with residents and ask for their assistance.“
City Manager Pete Landrum Beavercreek, OH
