HOWELL – The Howell Police Department will launch an anonymous tip program, the Howell Police Anonymous Community Tip Line, hosted by P3Tips.com
The free tip program allows people to easily and quickly provide information and if desired, to engage in written dialogue with investigators at the Howell Police Department, all with complete anonymity, simply by visiting the website www.p3tips.com, according to a press release.
There is no downloading or registration required to submit a tip.
Police Chief Andrew Kudrick said, “I am proud to offer a simple and effective method for people to communicate with our investigators without fear of identification and retaliation. We are always looking for ways to enhance our service and this is another way of doing so.”
Howell will be the first police department in New Jersey to use the program. Tips will be monitored by the department’s Investigations Bureau and can be provided for personal and property crimes, drug crimes, or any other criminal/suspicious activity an individual wants to share with police, according to the press release.
The tip line will not be monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and it is not for a response to emergencies. Emergencies must be reported by calling 911 or the Howell Police Department Communications Center at 732-938-4111. P3Tips is sponsored by the Howell Municipal Alliance.
