Grand Chute PD Leverages tip411 to Apprehend Suspect

Grand Chute Police Department (27 sworn officers) has recently seen the success that the tip411 tool provides to law enforcement by providing solid leads to nab a wanted suspect.

In speaking with Captain Colette Jaeger, Technical Operations Division Commander of the Grand Chute, WI Police Department, tip411 is credited with solving an armed robbery of a local business.

Grand Chute’s press releases directed residents to utilize the tip411 platform if they knew the identity of the robbery suspect, and that’s exactly what happened. The Grand Chute Police received several tips directing them to possible suspects. These tips led to the arrest of at least one suspect.

The public can submit anonymous tips to Grand Chute Police by texting “TIPGCPD” and the tip information to 847411. The public can also use the Grand Chute PD mobile app, powered by tip411, to view community alerts and submit anonymous tips.

According to School Safety Director Demario Boone, his staff can get reports and respond to anonymous texts to get more information with the tip411 tool, something they couldn’t do before.

At the most recent school board meeting, Boone indicated that within the past month, 24 tips were received through the tip411 tool, including about a teacher, and concerns over a firearm posted on social media.

“I was out on a Saturday with my kids, got a tip, sent it to Peoria Police, and we were able to get in the house, search the house, get the BB gun out of the house because it wasn’t a real one. Within 20 minutes we were able to solve all of that thanks to tip411,” Boone said.

Peoria Police Chief Eric Echevarria said the Peoria Police Department has seen a 41% reduction over the year in all incident reports from the schools.
