HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) - Hampton University has acquired a new program that will allow anonymous tips to be submitted via text.
To send a tip, text a message to "CRIMES" (274637) with the keyword "Hampton."
The service, TipSoft, keeps a person's identity secure by assigning them a unique ID, according to Trevor Carver with Bradley Public Relations.
People are encouraged to send tips about non-emergency situations, such as unsolved cases, vandalism, theft or planned criminal activity.
