According to the Melrose Patch, the text tip line was started with an anonymous donation. The texts themselves will be kept anonymous, and go directly to a Melrose PD detective. ”

The police department hopes this real time policing effort will encourage people to notify police of incidents, such as a “suspicious person in a neighbor’s yard”.

Just don’t text while driving.
