The Morgantown Police Department is reminding residents that it has established an anonymous telephone line for citizens to report suspicious or suspected criminal activity. Citizens who wish to report information without speaking to an officer or dispatcher may now leave information on a voicemail for detectives who will follow up on reported information as appropriate. The TIPS Line is 304-284-7520.
It is imperative that anyone needing immediate police assistance or reporting any kind of crime in progress should call 911 as the anonymous telephone line will not be manned.
The telephone line will be used in conjunction with the Request Tracker that has been in use on the City of Morgantown website for the past several years. Anyone wishing to utilize the website to submit information may do so at http://www.morgantownwv.gov/RequestTracker.aspx
