Yes, it is possible to make an anonymous tip to the police about a criminal activity you witnessed. Often times, people are reluctant to come forward with information for fear of retaliation or that their identity will be known. Anonymous tips can typically be made through CrimeStoppers or other third party hotlines, usually provided by law enforcement agencies. This allows for people to provide information without exposing themselves. If the tip leads to an investigation and arrests being made, the person providing the information may remain entirely anonymous - therefore protecting their identity. In some cases where a crime has been committed within sight of a surveillance camera or if there is other evidence of who carried out the crime, people have also been known to reach out directly to law enforcement in order to provide their information without anonymity. Whatever method you choose, it is encouraged that people speak up when they have valuable information related to illegal activities so that police can take action and keep communities safe!
