With the new app the public will now be able to share public safety information anonymously with police by sending them a secure message about crimes or suspicious activity. The app allows police to respond creating an anonymous two-way conversation.
Sanibel Police Chief William Dalton said the public is the greatest law enforcement resource. “Our new Sanibel PD App, along with our existing tip411 anonymous text a tip system, will help our residents play a more active role in keeping Sanibel safe.”
Anyone with a cell phone may also send an anonymous tip to Sanibel Police Department by texting Sanibel and their message/tip to 847411 (tip411). Anonymous web tips can also be submitted right from the Police Department’s website.
The PD App can be downloaded for free via the Google Play Store, iTunes App Store, or by visiting the Police Department’s website.
