Anonymous Crime Tip Line
The Anonymous Crime Tip Line 630-529-7274 provides citizens with an opportunity to report information regarding a crime or an incident of which they have knowledge. The Bloomingdale Police Department hopes to encourage the community to assist them by overcoming two key crime reporting deterrents: fear and apathy.
The Anonymous Crime Tip Line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is part of an ongoing effort to develop innovative ways to reduce crime and violence in and around Bloomingdale. Anyone who has information concerning a homicide, gangs, guns, drug activity, or any other type of information that would aid police personnel are encouraged to call. Often a seemingly unimportant or minor piece of information can solve a crime by providing the missing link.
How does the Tip Line Work?
When a citizen calls 630-529-7274 he or she will hear a taped recorded message. Explain the activity in as much detail as possible. You do not have to provide your name, address, or telephone number. All information remains confidential.
Some tips on leaving a message:
Speak clearly and slowly, there is no time limit on length of message,
Be as specific as possible in providing the following information:
-
Location of building or house, name of nearest intersection;
-
Description of person(s) involved, such as height, sex, age, weight, clothing, hair color, eye color, skin color, any distinguishing marks, and names if known.
-
Description of vehicles involved, make, model, color, and license plate.
If you would like to speak with someone directly, you may either leave your contact information on the tape, or call 630-529-9868 (Bloomingdale Police Department, non-emergency). If you need immediate police assistance: DIAL 911
