Call 9-1-1 for all emergencies, including crimes in progress.

“See Something, Say Something”

The Asheville Police Department wants you to report anything suspicious. Think about your daily routine: going to school, the store, or work. You know your neighborhood better than anyone else. Because you know what is “normal” for your day, you are the best person to notice when:

  • Something is left somewhere it shouldn’t be.
  • Someone is acting in a way that doesn’t seem right.

If you see something that feels wrong, say something! 

Submit an Anonymous Tip

The Asheville Police Department has a tool called TIP2APD to help neighbors fight crime. This app lets you send anonymous tips to the police. Officers can text you back to ask questions, but they still won’t know who you are.

How to use it

It’s important to know that this tool is only for non-emergencies. If you need help right away or see an emergency, always call 911.

There are two ways to use TIP2APD to submit a tip:

  • Download the free Asheville PD app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store by searching “AshevillePD”
  • If you don’t have a smartphone, you can still help. Text the keyword TIP2APD and your message to 847411.
