Silent Observer Starts Text Message Reports |
|
Thursday, 27 March 2008 |
Silent Observer is proud to announce that residents can now text
message anonymously with information about crime. Silent Observer
is the first in the State of Michigan to offer this text messaging
function. In fact, with this new technology Silent Observer will have
the ability to text the tipster back to ask questions or to gather more
information. This two-way communication will improve the quality of
the tips and assist police in gathering crime-solving information
faster. Text messaging provides several advantages over traditional
voice calls, especially when calling may not be safe. Texting allows
residents to report on a crime in progress without saying a word.
To send Silent Observer an anonymous text message:
- Text Tip138 plus your message to CRIMES (274637).
- The keyword TIP138 must appear on the first line of your text message in order to reach Silent Observer.
- You will then receive an automatic text message reply that will contain your confidential ID number.
- Silent
Observer will be able to send text messages back to you without knowing
your cell phone number to ask questions or gather more information.
(Currently Alltel users are not able to text message Silent Observer due to a backlog in their system.)
