VIDEO: Camden County Prosecutor Introduces Text Message Alert System

Camden County Prosecutor Warren E. Faulk introduced a new text message alert system for county residents this week in a video posted on Youtube. That video is attached to this post.

The Camden County Prosecutor’s Office’s Texting Tipline allows the public to reach out to Prosecutor’s Office investigative staff from their cell phones by simply texting a message to CCTIP.

The sender will receive a prompt acknowledging receipt of the information. If there are followup questions, detectives from the Prosecutor’s Office will be able to interact with tipsters in real time.

The tipline was established to take advantage of the opportunities technology offers to counter the fear some people feel when they contemplate providing law enforcement with information on crime.

People who may have witnessed a crime or have critical information about a crime may fear retribution from criminals if they cooperate with police.

Providing information by cell phone allows conversations between the detectives and tipsters to take place silently, discreetly and privately.
