Abstract: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) tip reporting capability will facilitate the collection of information from the public and law enforcement partners regarding allegations of the more than 400 crimes enforced by DHS. The internet-based reporting capability serves as a supplement the telephone-based reporting capability. The web-based reporting capability will reduce the time it takes for people to report crimes to DHS. The capability also reduces the amount of time required to document, analyze, and route tips to the appropriate action office.
