The East Providence, RI Police Department launched a new way to help residents stay safe in the event of crimes. Police worked with tip411 to develop the East Providence PD mobile app that allows residents to submit anonymous tips to officers, find information and view alerts.
 
“Our goal is to make it easy for the people of East Providence to communicate with our department, and, by working together, continue to make East Providence an exceptional place to live, work and visit,” Police Chief Christopher Francesconi said. “With our new mobile app, we have added another way for the community to access our department so that we may respond to any concerns and continue to keep our community safe.”

Citizens can share information with East Providence PD by by texting the keyword EPPOLICE and sending their message/tip to 847411. The East Providence PD app is available for free via the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
 
Funding for the project came from the East Bay Regional Coalition, East Providence Prevention Coalition, and the Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities & Hospitals.

The Peoria Police Department has teamed up with the “Who Killed Me” campaign to raise awareness about unsolved murders in their community. They are asking citizens to use their tip411 anonymous tip program to report any information regarding these cases.

Peoria PD and Peoria County Coroner Jamie Harwood wanted the community to know that they were still searching for suspects in the crimes, but they want the community’s help.

“I’ve talked to people who have said does anybody care, especially with cases that are older,” Hardwood said. “I think the importance of this initiative is to keep it in the forefront in the public’s mind that yes, these names are not just names. The police department has never quit working on cases.”

To submit an anonymous tip to the Peoria Police Department, text PEORIAPD and your tip to 847411. Citizens can also submit tips using the Peoria PD mobile app, available for free on the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
