Crime Reports and TipSoft
The Mesa Police Department utilizes CrimeReports and TipSoft SMS (short
message service) to receive 100% anonymous crime-related tips. No one will
ever know the identity of the tipster. The technology routes messages
through a server that encrypts the source of the tip, before the tip reaches
the police. The technology also allows investigators to securely reply back
without compromising the tipster's identity.
There are a few options to
submit a tip:
- BY TEXT: Type
MESAPD, then your message, and send to
274-637 (CRIMES).
- ONLINE FORM: Click
here to use the online form, or
Tipsters can follow-up on previously submitted tips
by using the encrypted code number provided at the time of tip
submission. Click
here to check on a tip previously submitted.
