Abingdon
Police Department
For Immediate
Release
Launch
of Anonymous Crime Tip Line
The
Abingdon Police Department is pleased to announce its latest crime fighting
tool and we are seeking help from the community to assist us using it.
The
APD has established an ANONYMOUS and toll-free TIPS hotline, 1-844-200-TIPS, to
ask for the public’s help with possible crimes being committed in Abingdon, VA.
If you have information about an Abingdon case, please call 1-844-200-TIPS
(8477). All calls to the tip line are confidential. The tip line uses a Third
Party Voicemail system to ensure caller anonymity.
The
tip line is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. However, it is
important to note that this does not replace traditional police services. If
you have an emergency please dial 911 or, for non-emergency situations, dial
Washington County, VA dispatch at 276-676-6277.
The tip line (1-844-200-TIPS) can be used to report crime tips -
such as information regarding perpetrators of violent crime, theft, vandalism,
drug activity, etc. Abingdon residents are strongly encouraged to empower
themselves and participate in the fight against crime in our community through
the utilization of this new service.
