SpotCrime Crime Tip Service Now Avialable

By

SpotCrime has launched CrimeTip.us, an easy to use crime tip submission platform.

Crime prevention can not be achieved by police departments alone. SpotCrime is run with the hopes that the easier it is for the public to view and share public crime information, the easier it is for communities to become informed and involved, and the easier it will be to lower the crime rate.

Crime tips are also an important part in crime prevention. In an effort to make crime tips seamless, easy, and useful, SpotCrime has introduced it's own crime tip service for the public and law enforcement.

The new SpotCrime crime tip feature is easily accessed through the SpotCrime website (via a crime detail page or a SpotCrime city map page) or by heading to CrimeTip.us.
The CrimeTip.us page asks a series of questions, allowing the submitter to include as much information as they'd like to include. The user can easily and instantly add an address to the tip as well. Once the tip is submitted, the user is asked to save the unique and secret I.D. that only the user and the police agency will have. SpotCrime will make every effort to share the tip with the local police department and to keep the tip anonymous.

Like SpotCrime.com, CrimeTip.us also works well on a mobile device.

SpotCrime would like to remind anyone using CrimeTip.us that if it is an emergency or a crime in progress to please call 911!
