Fishers Police adding avenues to provide tips

Fishers Police will be expanding the ways citizens can provide tips to local officers.  Many of the systems already in place will continue but new options are coming through partnerships with private companies.

Here are more details, from a Fishers Police Department news release:

 

The Fishers Police Department is proud to announce our recent partnership with the Texas-based company, Anderson Software, to provide a more seamless and efficient way for community members to offer information to help solve and prevent crimes or other serious matters. P3 Intel will provide another valuable resource to Fishers residents partnering with the police department to proactively maintain a safe community.

The Fishers Police Department will now be accepting tips via, the web, FPD social media platforms, and by way of the new, free FPD Tips mobile app available on the iOS and Android platforms, greatly enhancing the mobile tip submission process. Anderson Software’s sophisticated encryption processes obscure any and all identifying information and provide assured confidentiality for tipsters.

Even without the app, there is still an easy and secure option for submitting tips from any internet or mobile browser by going tohttps://www.fishers.in.us/241/Police. Using whichever method, once a person submits a tip, they will be given a TIP ID and password. FPD Crime Tips is not monitored 24/7 and all emergency situations must be reported to 911 or 317-773-1282.

This new FPD Crime Tip software is just one resource the agency is using to connect and communicate with residents. In addition, residents can also report non-emergency situations thru the FPD Crime Watch App. For more information please visit https://crimewatch.fishers.in.us/. It is important to remember that neither the Crime Tip nor the Crime Watch Apps are designed to replace 911. All emergency situations must be reported to 911 or 317-773-1282.
