Our tip system is anonymous

When you use our tip system, you will be issued a randomly generated access code which is also used as your “tipster” ID. That’s what we use to track your tip.

When submitting a tip

Please be as descriptive as possible (including- Who, What, When, Where, and How Do You Know).

By submitting a tip through our service

You acknowledge that the tip must first be examined in the same manner as all reports of criminal activity that are currently handled by Crime Alert Berks County. You also acknowledge that the information you provide does not automatically represent that a investigation is now or will in the future be opened based on this tip alone.

This service is intended for non-emergency use only
