The Howell Township Police Department will launch an anonymous tip program, the “Howell Police Anonymous Community Tip Line” hosted by P3Tips.com.

The free tip program allows people to easily and quickly provide information and if desired, engage in written dialogue with investigators at the Howell Police Department-all with complete anonymity- simply by visiting the website www.p3tips.com. There is no downloading or registration required to submit a tip.

Howell Police Chief Andrew Kudrick, whose agency mission is to provide unparalleled service to the community and implemented the motto “Committed to Community” stated, “I am proud to offer a simple and effective method for people to communicate with our investigators without fear of identification and retaliation. We are always looking for ways to enhance our service and this is another way of doing so.”

The Howell Township Police Department will be the first police department in the state of New Jersey to utilize the innovative program. Tips will be monitored by the Howell Police Department Investigations Bureau and can be provided for personal and property crimes, drug crimes or any other criminal/suspicious activity a tipster wants to share with police.

The tip line is not monitored 24/7 and is not for response to emergencies. Emergencies must be reported by calling 9-1-1 or the Howell Police Department Communications center at (732)938-4111.
