Crime Tips
 TipSoft
SMS, short message service, is 100%
anonymous through cloaking. No one will
know the identity of the text tipster.
The technology routes messages through a
server that encrypts cell phone numbers
before they get to police. The
technology also allows investigators to
securely reply back to the cell phone
without compromising the tipster’s
identity.
Some of the advantages of text messaging
includes being able to communicate in
real time with texters. It also allows
people to notify police when calling may
not be feasible or safe. Texting a tip
is easy.
