The TipSubmit Mobile app for Android and iPhone users is now available. The app is the first mobile application that lets the public anonymously submit tips to Crime Stoppers or law enforcement agencies, helping solve and prevent crime.

The new mobile application augments existing tools that allow the public to submit anonymous tips via phone (1-800-222-TIPS), web (www.dupagecrimestoppers.com) and SMS Text-a-Crime-Tip (send keyword DUPAGE and any tip to CRIMES). The app offers more powerful options than SMS Text-a-Tip, because it has the ability to use GPS to auto-locate the nearest agency or select an agency manually.

There is no cost to the public to use this application. To learn more or to download visit the Android Market or iTunes App Store. Crime Stoppers wants you to remember if you
