Minneapolis Police Announce New Tip Line For Non-Emergencies
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -The Minneapolis Police Department announced a new non-emergency tip line Thursday.
The new line allows them to share information about suspicious activity that does not require an immediate response. Afterward, the tips will be forwarded to the appropriate investigative division for further follow-up.
The tip line is 612-673-5335 but officials urge people with an emergency to continue to call 911.
"We are grateful to the community for providing tips when they see something suspicious or have information that will help keep our city safe," said MPD Chief Medaria Arradondo. "This new tip line will be able to handle a large volume of calls and process the tips more effectively."
The improved tip line technology significantly increases the call capacity and allows those handling the tips to do so more efficiently, and the MPD was able to enhance the current technology at no additional cost.
