Green Twp. Police Department in Ohio Launch tip411

Township residents are now able to receive public safety alerts from police and submit tips to police about criminal activity, all on their cellphones.

The Green Township Police Department launched the tip411 alert system from Citizen Observer. The program is an interactive way to keep the community connected and informed through email, text message and online safety alerts.

Through tip411, the public can also report crimes and suspicious activity directly to police by sending anonymous text messages from their cellphones.
