Emergencies: 

If someone is in imminent danger, call 911 or Bloomington PD dispatch at 309-820-8888.  Do not utilize the following systems in emergencies or in place of calling 911. 

Non-emergencies:

To provide anonymous information about drug sales, illegal weapons possession, or violent crimes that do not require an immediate response, we offer several crime tip systems.  

SUBMIT A TIP USING YOUR CELL PHONE 

The Bloomington Police Department is now a partner in the national tip-to-text program,"Tip411".  This system allows the public to anonymously text crime tips to the department 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The system also supports the sending/receiving of images and videos as well.  The department has no ability to identify the sender.  Normal text messaging rates do apply.  

To use the text-to-tip system, simply text 847411 and then type BPDTIPS and your tip information in the body of the text prior to hitting send.  As time allows, a BPD staff member may respond to you via an anonymous two-way conversation. 

USING EMAIL / PHONE HOTLINE 

You may contact the Bloomington Police Department Crime & Intelligence Analysis Unit (CIAU) at (309) 434-2963 or at ciau@cityblm.org. The CIAU office is staffed from 8am-4:30pm weekdays. If no one is available to answer your call, please leave the information on the voicemail or send it by e-mail. You may leave information anonymously. 

SUBMIT A TIP USING YOUR COMPUTER 

You may utilize the web form below to anonymously report crime tips. This form also accepts the attachment of images, videos and files. Once you leave this page, the session will be terminated and there is no way for further conversation.
