The Hazard Police Department has teamed up with tip411 to bring residents a free, anonymous tip app. This app gives citizens the ability to submit anonymous tips directly to us.

Atlantic City police tweeted Tuesday that a woman who allegedly stabbed her boyfriend in the hand during a domestic dispute last week was arrested.
According to police, an anonymous tip on the TIP 411 system led police to Amirah Black. Black, 19, was wanted for aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a weapon, and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.
Last Wednesday, police responded to Delancey Drive after Black told emergency dispatchers she had been assaulted by her boyfriend, Clifton Holley, and that he had several weapons.
On the evening of Tuesday August 2nd, the Yonkers Police Department will once again be participating in National Night Out (NNO) from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at four locations throughout the city. NNO is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our communities safer, better places to live. NNO events will take place in all 50 states.
“National Night Out is a great opportunity for our residents to interact with their local police and community,” said Mayor Mike Spano. “Yonkers has the greatest police department in the country and these events will remind our neighbors that our police are here to serve and keep our streets and families safe.” Each Precinct Community Council, which is made up of volunteer residents, plans their own NNO event with their local precinct command staff.
There will be activities for all ages including live entertainment, vendors, free handouts, police equipment demos, K-9 demos, and crime prevention materials. Officers from each of our four precincts, Community Affairs, Emergency Service Unit, Fleet Services, and the Yonkers Youth Police Initiative (YPI) will be present at all four locations.
Police Commissioner Charles Gardner stated “National Night Out gives us another opportunity to strengthen bonds with our residents. I want to thank the local Precinct Community Councils and our Officers for all of their efforts in planning this great evening out for our residents. The successes that we have had here in Yonkers over the last few years would not be possible without our community members and this gives us a chance to thank them and have some fun at the same time.”
It doesn’t matter if its late night, early morning or during business hours — violent crime is invading Minneapolis neighborhoods at an alarming rate.
“We need the community’s help to solve these serious crimes that are taking place,” said Minneapolis Police Cmdr. Scott Gerlicher.
Minneapolis police are reminding people how they can help, anonymously, by using their cellphone as a crime-fighting tool.
If you have information about a crime, you can either text 847411 or download MPD Tip on your smartphone to leave an anonymous tip for police.
“They all get triaged here, so we look at every single tip that comes in and we decide who would be best to handle the follow up on this,” Lt. Jeff Rugel said.
He says the system is set up so officers have no idea who is calling.
A convicted felon in possession of numerous weapons was arrested by La Habra Police Sunday, authorities said in a written statement.
Police were notified through Tip411, an app used by the La Habra Police Department which allows community members to submit anonymous tips, about a child residing in a home where there was weapons and drugs, officials said.
In response, police officers went to a residence in the 2600 block of Candlewood Way where they arrested Ronald Amster, 41, outside of his home for possession of illegal drugs and paraphernalia, the statement said.
