How to Report a Crime Anonymously


There are many reasons why reporting a crime can be difficult. You may know, for instance, that someone you love and care about is or has committed a crime. You may be struggling with the snitch culture that is so prevalent in the United States. There are many reasons, but rest assured, you can report a crime anonymously in many ways. If the predominant reason you have not reported the crime is your personal safety, doing so anonymously is the way to go. It will give the peace of mind of confessing what you know without putting you and your family in danger, allowing consequences to happen as they will. Keep in mind that you are not causing anything. The actions of the guilty will bring upon them the cost of choosing to commit a crime.
Below find a list of ways you can report a crime anonymously, with the pros and cons of each method.
The basic purpose of WeTip Inc. is to provide an absolutely anonymous crime reporting resource to residents, students and businesses throughout the entire Nation. They will not even allow you to give your name. They in turn contact the local authorities and any federal agencies that need to know your information. 1-800-78-CRIME (1-800-782-7463). Their website states if you accidentally reveal personal information you will have to call back and speak to a different operator. They claim to not keep records of where any information comes from. You can also report incidents that happen in schools as well.

·         Google your local Sheriff’s department. They may have an online form to submit anonymous tips. Understand for your safety, it may not be anonymous and could capture your IP address which would reveal at the least, your physical location when you send the form. If your safety is in jeopardy, this is not the best option for you. This is true of any submission form on the internet, for future reference.

If the crime you are reporting involves the local police, contact the FBI directly, in an anonymous way we cover later. You cannot trust that other police officers aren’t involved or if people in the country law enforcement are also involved. Submit a tip to the FBI

·         You can contact the National Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). It would be best to do so from a public pay phone. You can purchase a “burner” phone, but to do so you would need to take several precautionary steps. Pay with cash and only purchase the phone at a store where there is no video surveillance, which would be very difficult to accomplish at this time.

·         Google the mailing address for your local law enforcement. Buy a picture postcard that is generic and run of the mill. Write the message on the postcard and drop it in the mail. (Be sure to put the proper amount of postage on the card for your location). You don’t need to sign it and enough people will touch it that prints should be not an issue.
Above all, do whatever needs to be done to protect your safety. If someone you know, or love is committing crimes, that means that they are unpredictable, and could be violent towards you. Do not let on that you are aware of anything.  Delete your visit to this website on your browsing history. Delete any emails in your sent box of your email account (most people forget to do this). If you can isolate yourself from this person, do so immediately. If this person is your partner and you share a home, investigate shelters for battered women and call them, explaining your situation. Gather the things they recommend you have when you leave (ie, legal documents, ID, etc.)

Seandell Jackson

Seandell Jackson was convicted of murdering Nathan Potter who was a student at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He had attempted to rob him, however Nathan was not carrying any cash and was merely traveling from one location to another at the time of his death. There is nothing special about Seandell, other than he is the poster child for why prisons exist, and that he and his family are responsible for the choices he made that day. When he was sentenced for first-degree intentional homicide and attempted robbery, he was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole, he screamed obscenities, and had to be tackled and pepper sprayed. He was not alone in his outbursts, his family yelled out as well: " I hate you! I hate you all!", " I hate all of you!", " God's the judge" . Funny to bring God into things when your family member has committed which God forbids. Perhaps they were absent on the Sunday that was being taught. It's easy ...

The Life and Times of Veronic Staley

Vernonica Staley was recently sentenced to life for the murder of Aljosa (Al) Memovic. She was thirty four years old at the time of the murder and was an aspiring singer. They had dated for some time, but in the previous year and half their relationship had deteriorated considerably. Friends had in fact warned Al to not meet up with Veronica. She had set up the telling him she had some of things to return and offered up “Dessert” after the lunch, according to the Houston Chronicle. While not much is known exactly about the length or nature of their relationship, relatives testified that Staley had deep mental issues after trauma she suffered in childhood. The prosecutors acknowledged she had issues, but said they were not sufficient enough to impact her sentencing. This is as it should be. There are literally millions of people living in the United States who have had childhoods filled with unimaginable pain and suffering who do not go on to kill others or live a life of cr...

Dear Jaycee Lee Dugar

Dear Jaycee, Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for being so courageous and putting into words what so many of us feel. Some of us were raised in homes with parents like your captor. No one ever noticed our suffering or our bruises. Some of our scars are invisible, just like yours. So many chances to be saved, but getting involved would have made them committed to a human being that was not their own. I'm sorry for your suffering. I am thankful you have been able to rebuild your life with your mother and daughters. I understand your desire to avoid publicity and the spot light. No one in their right minds wants to be known for trauma. You put into words so many things that so many of us live with, but words and explanations escape us. How does one explain the difficulty of a crowd and the danger associated with strangers and what they might do to us. It seems impossible, and yet you've done it. I don't know how many “outlayers” will contact you t...
