The Mount Carmel Police Department want to introduce the community to our Text-A-Tip Program. Text-A-Tip is a separate program from the emergency telephone number 911 system that lets citizens anonymously submit information about criminal activity such as:
- information that assists in crime prevention
- information about ongoing investigations
- narcotics tips
A cell phone user can use the program by using the number 262-237-8472
Then type in the message as much information as possible and press the send key. The program provides anonymity by replacing the cell phone number with a code which is contained in an automatic text reply.
Text-A-Tip should not be utilized for emergency situations requiring immediate police response. If the crime is in-progress or if there is an emergency, please call 911. If you have a general inquiry, need a police report, or are not sure if Text-A-Tip is right for the circumstances, please call the police non-emergency number 618-262-4114.
