The Army\u2019s crime<\/a> tip system is going fully digital and anonymous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have information that Army Criminal Investigation Command<\/a> should look into, you can now submit it online or through a free smartphone app<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Army CID app is available in the Apple and Google Play stores, as well as through an online form<\/a>, according to a Tuesday CID release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The apps allow tipsters to select from a variety of crimes \u2015 from arson and child abuse to online scams and terrorism \u2015 then add details like the suspect\u2019s description, what type of vehicle they drive and whether they own weapons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once submitted, the tips are farmed out to CID units for investigation and their progress can be tracked online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter submitting a tip, a tip reference\/ID number is created that allows the tipster to create a password to check the status of the submitted tip or check on the status of a reward \u2014 if applicable,\u201d Special Agent Christopher Adams, a CID project manager, said in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
