Testimonials
“The vast majority of people who recreate outdoors in Minnesota do things the right way, and they have that same expectation of other people. This app adds to the many ways all people can help ensure future generations have the opportunity to enjoy the things we do today.”
–Col. Rodmen Smith, director of the Minnesota DNR Enforcement Division
“Through the use of tip411, which we named SCDNR Tips, we have received over 1,100 tips since going live in July of 2016. During this time, officers have not only received information regarding violations through the tip411 program, but they have received photographs and videos through the tip app as well. This not only aids in prosecution, but in many cases the violators have admitted to their actions once confronted with the photographic or video evidence.”
– Captain Lee Ellis of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources
“Through these new channels, the public can report crimes or suspicious activity anonymously and in real-time directly to Kentucky’s conservation officers. It’s crime fighting the 21st Century way.”
– Col. Eric Gibson, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s Law Enforcement Division director
