SWEETSER POLICE DEPARTMENT

The people in our communities can and do make a difference. Concerned residents can be instrumental in the fight against crime and terrorism.

We are asking residents to become actively involved in keeping our community safe by remaining alert and reporting any  suspicious activities.

• All information associated with your message will be treated as strictly confidential.
• If information pertains to an investigation by another police department, it will be forwarded directly to that    department.

•  The electronic messages will be viewed during normal business hours.

Seem Suspicious? Report It!

If there is an emergency, a person is in immediate danger or you observe suspicious activity — do not take action — alert local authorities immediately by dialing 911.

To provide the most useful information to law enforcement, record and report:

• Who did you observe?
• What did you see? Be specific.
• Where did you see it?
• When did you see it?
• Why is it suspicious?

Callers are encouraged to be accurate, fast and complete in their reports.

When describing a suspicious person, try to use as many physical and behavioral descriptors as possible.

If the person is driving a vehicle, callers should try to provide the vehicle's license plate, year, make, model, size and color.

Information received by this service will be cross-referenced through federal, state and local databases. When meaningful information is corroborated, it will be forwarded to the proper law enforcement agency.

** False reporting is a crime and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law **
