Crime Stoppers of South Central MS said in a Facebook post that it has joined the P3Tips community and now prefers tips submitted online at P3Tips.com. The post said the 888 phone number remains available at this time and that the P3Tips mobile app is also available in the App Store. The organization reiterated that tips remain anonymous.
Crime Stoppers programs are community-based initiatives that encourage residents to report information about crimes while protecting the identity of tipsters. They often work with local law enforcement agencies to develop leads that can help solve cases, prevent crime and improve public safety.
Shifting to an online platform and mobile app reflects a broader move by many tip lines to offer more ways for the public to submit information. Online and mobile submissions can provide convenience and speed, and may make it easier for people to report information when they witness suspicious activity.
Those with information can visit P3Tips.com or download the P3Tips app in the App Store. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
