Howell Police Remind Residents Of Crime Prevention Program

HOWELL, NJ — The Howell police department wants to remind all residents of the “Howell Police Text-a-Tip” digital community crime prevention program.

The tip line, which was launched in 2017, allows concerned Howell residents, business owners and visitors to easily and quickly provide information to the Howell Township Police Department about non-emergency criminal or suspicious activity, such as personal, property and drug crimes, without revealing their personal identities or information.

The tip line is not monitored 24/7 and is not for emergencies or crises. Any emergency or crisis situation must be reported by calling 911.

The tip line, like crime stoppers and neighborhood watch, encourages citizens to actively participate in keeping their community safe. If responding officers require additional information, they can communicate directly with the tipster.

Tipsters can also submit photos, videos, audio recordings and documents.

To report a non-emergency tip, go to www.p3tips.com or download the P3Tips app from the App Store or Google Play and follow the prompts.

P3 Tips has been supported by the Howell Alliance since its inception in 2017. The Howell Alliance collaborates with other community organizations to prevent substance abuse, underage drinking and other at-risk behaviors.
