Cleveland Heights PD Joins Crime Tip App
iWatch Northeast Ohio allows residents to report crime tips to dozens of police departments through texting, a phone call, and more — all in one app
Cleveland Heights Police now has one more avenue to receive crime tips from residents.
The iWatch Northeast Ohio mobile app, free on iPhone, Blackberry, Windows and Andriod platforms, allows users to submit crime tips to dozens of police departments — in multiple formats — from a single platform.
The app was developed by the Northeast Ohio Fusion Center, a partnership organization to fight large-scale crime that includes local county sheriff's departments, the U.S. Attorney's Office, the Cleveland branch of the FBI, the RTA and more local law enforcement agencies.
