The Norwood Police Department maintains a telephone line which allows callers, wishing to remain anonymous, to leave information as to drug or criminal activity. Persons wanting to report such activity should call the Crime and Drug Tip Line at 781-440-5181.
The tip line rings directly into a voice mailbox in which messages are to be left. The information left is reviewed and shared with the appropriate division of the Police Department.
Callers are encouraged to leave the identity of the suspected offenders, the identities of any of their associates, their addresses, and their vehicle descriptions including license plate numbers. In the case of illicit drug activity, callers are asked to relay what types of drugs are involved and the locations of drug activity.
The tip line is voluntary and anonymous. No attempt will be made to determine the identity of the caller, but the caller may leave their name and telephone number if they wish.
Should a caller wish to speak directly with a police officer, dial 781-440-5100. To report all emergencies, dial 911.
