Submitting Anonymous Tips to ATF

USA –-(Ammoland.com)- The fight to protect our communities is not just up to law enforcement. It’s a partnership between communities and law enforcement.

We look to you who live in these communities we protect to provide us with information about gun violence.

In an effort to make your communities safer, ATF is launching a new way to collect your tips involving firearms or to provide leads to help us prevent violent crimes from happening.

Using your phone, tablet or computer, you will be able to tell us instantly and anonymously about crimes that may be happening in your communities that involve firearms, explosives, violent crime, or arson.

ATF values your privacy and is offering this service through reportit (link is external)^®, a mobile app that allows you to remain anonymous. With reportit^® concerned citizens can report suspicious or unusual activities in real time while having the assurance that your identity will remain anonymous and confidential. reportit^® makes it easy to create and submit a tip, and attach a photo or video, with confidence that the information is forwarded to us real time. With the time and location of the incident, we can better respond and provide the necessary resources quickly and efficiently.  You will have the option to provide your personal information, but this will not be required to submit your tip. You can visit the reportit (link is external)^® website for more infomation on their service.

Our desire is to have a significant impact in keeping your communities safe, without violating your privacy.

We need your help in our efforts to remove crime from your streets.
