First Selectman Gets Complaints About Phony Reports to Police Digital Tip Line
|
Darien Police Captain Donald Anderson said the department is pretty pleased with its new digital tip line that not only allows people to send in an anonymous tip, but allows them to keep their anonymity if police send them a message asking for more information. But First Selectman Jayme Stevenson is getting complaints about abuse of the tip line by people acting anonymously and perhaps vengefully against others, and she said she wanted to discuss with police their tone when they question kids after a tip about them comes in. Stevenson and Anderson spoke at last week’s quarterly department heads meeting with the Board of Selectmen. Anderson was filling in for Police Chief Duane Lovello, who was in New York at a training event. Police Pleased with Tip Line
As part of the Police Department’s report, Anderson mentioned how pleased police are with the new tip line.
