- Email from Onondaga County District Attorney William J. Fitzpatrick to other NY DA’s about tip411
After the Parkland shooting in February, I formed a task force to come up with some evidence based prevention ideas to recommend to local school officials. The membership was composed of school administrators, teachers, students, law enforcement, mental health professionals, the 911 center, first responders and parents. I was very pleased with the result and I enclose a copy of the final report.
One matter that I wanted to bring to your attention was the tip411 system. This is an app that anyone can download to their smartphone and anonymously report criminal conduct to law enforcement. Police, in turn, can communicate with the tipster in real time and even include transmitting video. The system works incredibly well here in Onondaga and I believe Tony Scarpino is equally satisfied in Westchester. The company has developed a special tip411 app designed specifically for schools. The presentation was so effective that almost all my schools are going to adapt the program (you can read about it on page 9 of the report).
If you are interested in utilizing this in your county, I urge you to contact Tony Stano at tstano@tip411.com.
