Crime Stoppers Houston vs tip411 Admin

This anonymous mobile app provides the citizens of Houston and surrounding areas the ability to report information they might have or know about unsolved crime happening in the Greater Houston Area. Crime Stoppers pays cash rewards of up to $5,000 on all felony crimes that happen in the Greater Houston/Harris County area. The only requirement is you MUST report your tip directly to the Crime Stoppers Tip Line, either by phone, the website or this mobile app. Things you should know: • Crime Stoppers will never ask you for your name, phone number, address, or any other information that could identify you. • We do not record phone calls or have caller id. We do not record any IP addresses. No one will know you called or reported through this mobile app unless you tell them. • Once you download the mobile app, you will be asked to setup a passcode and then you can give us your tip. This passcode is the only way Crime Stoppers can communicate with you or pay you. • You need to remember this passcode and provide it when you return to the mobile app to check the status of your tip. • Crime Stoppers cannot call you with the status because we don’t ask for your phone number or any of your contact information. • When you return to the mobile app with your passcode, we will let you know if your tip helped law enforcement arrest or charge a felony suspect/fugitive. If it did, we will give you instructions to go to a specific bank on a certain date to pick up your cash reward. You will not be asked to show any id and the money you get does not have to be reported to anyone. Crime Stoppers of Houston has other crime prevention programs and services available for the community. Visit www.crime-stoppers.org for more information. You may also call our office at 713-521-4600 for assistance.

NOTE: this app is for tip411 customers to manage their tip411 activity. It is not for use by citizens to submit tips. The tip411 Admin app allows tip411 agency users to view anonymous tips submitted by their citizens. The app also lets agency users create alerts (depending upon their tip411 subscription).
