Central Alabama CrimeStoppers Launches Tipsubmit Mobile for iPhone
The new software tool is the first anonymous and fully featured crime
tipping mobile app for iPhone
Central
Alabama CrimeStoppers, a local non profit organization that assist law
enforcement in solving crimes, has launched Tipsubmit Mobile for iPhones.
The app is the first anonymous and fully featured iPhone application that
lets the public submit tips to help solve and prevent crime.
Users of the free iPhone app may now submit secure and anonymous tips to
Crime Stoppers programs. Thousands of communities, schools and local, state
and federal law enforcement agencies will be served by this application due
to its integration with TipSoft, the industry leader in anonymous crime tip
reporting and management system.
“With our track record in anonymous tip management, tipsters can feel secure
in their safety and anonymity using this powerful new tool,” said Kevin
Anderson, Vice President in charge of the TipSoft product suite. “Tipsters
can even receive rewards of up to $1,000 for information submitted to Crime
Stoppers that lead to arrests, without anyone ever knowing their identity.”
The new mobile application augments the existing TipSoft tools that allow
the public to submit anonymous tips via phone, web and SMS Text-a-Tip. The
iPhone app offers more powerful options than the existing SMS Text-a-Tip
solution offers, allowing the public to easily auto-locate the nearest
agency they can submit to or select one manually. Tips submitted through the
app may also include uploaded images and video, and even establish an
anonymous ongoing two-way dialogue and real-time chat with the receiving
agency.
“It's great to see this new mobile product allowing the public to safely and
conveniently communicate with their local Crime Stoppers programs,” said
Crime Stoppers International President Michael Gordon-Gibson. “It is
innovation like this that helps keep Crime Stoppers relevant, effective and
at the forefront of allowing communities to help the police in solving and
preventing crime globally.”
There is no cost to the public to use this application and it will be
released for additional mobile platforms in the coming months. To learn more

iTunes store.
