Have information on a crime? Use our TIPS FORM to help us solve it. Do NOT use this form to report an emergency dial 9-1-1 Tip Line 1-866-SAFE-NYS (1-866-723-3697)

You can now also “See Something, Send Something”, which allows anyone to capture suspicious activity as a photo or written note, and send the information to the New York State Intelligence Center.

From there, the tip will be reviewed and if relevant, sent to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
