Overview
Text-based Crime Tips
Enhance campus watch
Text messaging is the communication method of choice amongst college students. Universities are now successfully utilizing the technology to increase participation in Crime Tip Hotlines.
Across the nation, universities average just one campus security officer for every 524 students. Campus crimes typically take place in the inevitable gaps of this limited police visibility.
To fill the gaps, no technology is more powerful then the eyes and ears of the student body. The key is finding a way to enlist students on their own terms. EyeWitness does just that...
- Confidentiality
Most campus inbound emergency lines are not confidential. EyeWitness can be enabled to offer tipsters anonymity ensuring students don't withhold timely, critical information due to a hesitancy of engaging with the authorities.
- DiscretionTipsters shouldn't risk retribution. With EyeWitness a tipster can communicate with the authorities without letting those in his/her vicinity in on the conversation.
- ImmediacyThese days, students often choose text messaging over traditional calls because of the ease and immediacy. This is as true with crime tips as it is with social messaging.
