Delaware Natural Resources Police launch tip411 mobile app

Anonymously report poachers, polluters and other violators to DNREC in Delaware.

Delaware’s Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control launched a new law enforcement app, enabling the public to connect with the department’s Natural Resources Police officers, receive alerts and submit anonymous tips from their smartphones.

Developed by software company tip411, the Delaware Natural Resources Police app encourages the public to provide DNREC’s Natural Resources Police with factual and anonymously reported information leading to the arrest of poachers, polluters and other violators. The app is available for free download by searching “DENRP” via the Google Play Store or the iTunes App Store. The app can be used with 100 percent anonymity, as tip411′s technology removes all identifying information before NRP officers see the tips.

Delaware’s tip411 system enables the public to connect with the three branches of Natural Resources Police to report crimes and hazards to public safety. In addition to enforcing Delaware criminal and motor vehicle laws as do all Delaware police agencies, DNREC’s three law enforcement branches focus on specific enforcement areas.

IACP 2018 Recap

We want to thank the hundreds of departments who stopped by our booth at the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Conference in Orlando early this month to discuss how tip411’s services can help enhance your agency’s community engagement efforts.

Great discussions were had with representatives from agencies across the country and from around the world.

IACP 2018 was a resounding success for tip411, and there has never been more interest in efficiently and effectively leveraging one of law enforcements’ most valuable resources – the people that live, work and visit your communities.

Whether tip411 is deployed to fight in your community, protect students in schools, or both, our ability to provide customized smartphone apps,  two-way anonymous text tips, community alerting, social media publishing, and more can make a huge difference in connecting your department directly with the public.

For those of you who may have missed us at IACP, or who are interest in learning more, we encourage you to click here to schedule a demonstration or give us a call at 888.952.2200.

Augusta police say there is no ‘direct threat’ after anonymous Cony High School tip

City police said school operations will carry on as usual on Thursday after an anonymous tip alluding to “a possible threat of violence involving a firearm and Cony High School” late Wednesday night.

“There did not appear to be any direct threats, however due to the nature of this incident, (police) immediately identified the Augusta juvenile, and embarked in an extensive investigation into the alleged threats,” Deputy Chief Kevin Lully wrote in a Thursday morning press release. “(Police) are working in conjunction with the school, parent and the student involved, all of whom are working very cooperatively with Police.”

Lully said police were in contact with the juvenile “within an hour” after the tip was received at about 10 p.m. He said there were no charges being considered “at this time” against the juvenile.

Lully told the Kennebec Journal that the threat was not leveled against a specific student, but the school in general. Despite the reported threat, he wrote in the release that “Augusta Schools continue to be safe for all users at this time.”

No additional police presence is expected at the school on Thursday, Lully said, but officers will be “highly visible” if students, staff, visitors or parents have questions about the incident.

According to police reports, a report of terrorizing was investigated on Tracy Street at 10:32 p.m.

The Augusta Police Department would like to thank the administration at Cony High and all our community partners for assisting us so we could bring this incident to closure as soon as possible.

The anonymous tip was communicated through the new mobile application, “Tip411,” that was launched earlier this month.
