Anonymous Crime Tip

The new anonymous crime tip service is for non-emergency, investigative information only and will not generate a radio call or summon the university police to your location. This service is collaboration between the Worcester State University Police Department and TipSoft®.

You can submit your tip three ways:

1. Online,
2. Text message, or,
3. iPhone app
