The Kent Police Department is pleased to announce the implementation of a cell phone and web based application which allows citizens to submit anonymous tips to us.

This service is being provided to the public for non-emergency use.  It is not meant to be used as a substitute for calling 911 in emergency situations.  In the event of an emergency, you should always dial 911.  If your situation is not an emergency, but still requires an officer to respond, you may dial our non-emergency phone number at 330-673-7732.

For more information and ways to submit tips anonymously, visit our Tip411 page or watch this video.
