Crime Reporting
Programs that provide a hotline, website or other mechanisms that the public can use to anonymously report information about the activities of people who are involved in arson crimes which might facilitate their arrest and conviction.
Law enforcement programs (and others) that accept reports regarding bad checks, investigate the situation and arrest and file charges against perpetrators or, if they qualify, allow them to be temporarily diverted from prosecution while given an opportunity to make good on the check. Some programs attempt to recover lost money. Bad checks are checks written by a person with a legitimate bank account that either has insufficient funds or has been closed. Check fraud is subject to both civil and criminal penalties in most states.
Programs that provide a hotline, website or other mechanisms that consumers can use to report the activities of telephone and Internet scammers and other con artists who attempt to persuade older adults, individuals who live alone, disaster victims and other vulnerable people to part with their savings. Common scams include fraudulent prize offers, "free" travel packages that have hidden costs or which never materialize, "get rich quick" investments that turn out to be worthless, tax debt/refund scams, phony charities with names that are similar to well-known organizations and schemes involving promises to recover an individual's money following their victimization by another scam. Reports may be filed by consumer fraud victims or by people who have information about individuals they know to be perpetrating these types of scams.
Programs that provide a hotline, website or other mechanisms that the public can use to anonymously report information about the activities of individuals who have planned or committed acts of violence or intimidation against people on the basis of their real or perceived race, religion, ethnicity, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. Hate crimes have an impact that lingers, and extends beyond the specific victim. They make members of minority communities fearful, angry and suspicious, and raise tensions that can divide and polarize neighborhoods, towns and cities.
Programs that provide a hotline, website or other mechanisms that the public can use to report, usually anonymously, individuals who have made false statements or otherwise intentionally misrepresented the facts surrounding an injury or loss in order to receive or increase the amount of compensation they will receive based on an insurance policy.
