 Huntsville Area Crime Stoppers, Inc. is proud to announce that they have recently partnered with the Texas-based company, Anderson Software, to provide a more seamless and efficient way for students and community members to offer information to help solve crimes. 

 

Anderson Software leads the industry with its latest secure and anonymous tip acquisition and management solution, call P3 Intel.  The partnership allows Huntsville/Madison County to foster a relationship between law enforcement and the public to proactively create a safer community.  Tips were previously accepted as SMS text messages using a short code and dedicated keyword.   Huntsville Area Crime Stoppers will now be accepting tips by phone, the web and by way of the new free P3 Tips mobile app available on the iOS and Android platforms, greatly enhancing the mobile tip submission process.  Still completely anonymous, tips submitted through the P3 mobile app, unlike SMS text tips, have no length limitations and allow images, video and documents to be uploaded with the tip.  Anderson Software’s sophistication encryption processes obscure any and all identifying information and provides assured anonymity for tipsters.

 

Even without the app, there is still an easy and secure option for submitting tips from any PC or mobile browser by going to p3tips.com.  Of course, tips are still welcomed through calling our tipline (53-Crime, 532-7463).  Using whichever method, once a person submits a tip, they will be given a TIP ID and password.

 

Huntsville Area Crime Stoppers feels that utilizing Anderson Software’s P3 Tips program will enhance communications with the public, thereby building a safer and more trusting community in which everyone prospers. 

 

The Huntsville Police Department wants to emphasize that this tipline is not for reporting in-progress crimes, dangerous situations or suspicious persons.  Everyone is encouraged to call 911 for these type situations.
