Pound Ridge announces Police Tips Program

The Pound Ridge Police Department, in a joint effort with the Westchester County District Attorney's Office, announces a new police tips program. Tip411 is a completely anonymous service that allows citizens to submit tips to their local police department. Citizens can send tips in through either text messages or by using a web form. Both methods send the tip to the Citizen Observer website who then forward only the tip to the local police agency. A smartphone app to allow citizens to send in anonymous tips using their smartphones will be deployed soon. The program is already being used successfully by the Yonkers Police Department. It is being offered though the District Attorney's Office to all Westchester Departments.

A page with links to the Tip411 service has been set up on the Town of Pound Ridge website..

Tips can also be sent in anonymously via text message to the Pound Ridge Police Department by texting:

PRPDTIP and your tip to 847411

Remember in case of an emergency or any urgent matter always call 911

Be sure to save/record your tip ID. You can use the ID to login to view feedback about your tip from the agency/group. Just enter the ID on the tip submit page and any feedback about your tip from the group will display. You can then submit additional information to the group using the tip form.
