Tip411
The City of Greenfield's Police Department is pleased to announce the implementation of a cell phone and web-based application which will help the public connect with Officers to find information, view alerts, and submit anonymous tips from their smartphone.
This new tool will facilitate a two-way line of communication that will enable the public to anonymously provide information that will assist the Police Department in the solving of crimes and creating a safer community. You can even attach photographs and videos after you submit an initial tip!
- This service is being provided to the public for non-emergency use, tips may not be reviewed until the following business day.
- Tip411 is not a substitute for calling to request police in an emergency.
- If you need to report a crime or fill out a report, please call 317-477-4410.
- In the event of an emergency, you should always contact 9-1-1.
One of the main purposes of this service is to swiftly share information with the community. By signing up for alerts, the public can be notified of information regarding major traffic accidents, missing persons, inclement weather, major fire emergencies and more.
There are three ways to submit an anonymous tip to provide vital information on crimes, criminals, or those engaging in illicit or criminal activity.

What is a Helpful Tip?
Not all ‘tips’ are helpful. To ensure that you are contributing useful information, be sure to include as much information as you can that answers the questions: Who, What, When, Where, and How you know. See examples of helpful tips below:
Not in-progress emergencies
1. Not helpful: “I need help now!”
2. Helpful: “I’ve seen one of your “wanted” suspects frequenting the 123 Store this week.”
Suspicious activity
1. Not Helpful: “I’m suspicious of my neighbor.”
2. Helpful: "There have been a lot of strange cars and people at 1234 Any Street. Many people go in and come out of the house at all hours of the day and night and they are very noisy at night."
Traffic enforcement issues
1. Not helpful: “People are always speeding in my neighborhood.”
2. Helpful: “I notice people regularly speeding on 123 Any Street during the afternoons.”
Those with questions are asked to call the City of Greenfield Police Department's Office at 317-477-4410.
