Tip Submit - New ways of working: http://bangormetro.com/Talk-of-the-town/1305TOTT/Fighting-Crime-One-Tip-at-a-Time.aspx

PISCATAQUIS COUNTY & DEXTER: In an effort to keep their communities safer, Piscataquis County and Dexter have embraced technology, by implementing several digital methods that make it easy, efficient, and anonymous to submit tips to local police departments.

TipSubmit Mobile is an anonymous and secure tool that allows users to submit tips to local law enforcement agencies. Users must first download the free application on their iPhone or Android phone and create a password in order to submit a tip. Through the same program, tips can also be submitted online, by phone, or by text, with the same promise of personal security and anonymity. The tips are sent directly to police dispatchers within the jurisdiction of the reported crime.

The use of the app is part of a collaboration between the Piscataquis County Sherriff’s Department, police departments in Dover-Foxcroft, Greenville, Brownville, Milo, and Dexter, and efforts by the Piscataquis Public Health Council, Healthy Maine Partnership, and Public Engine.
