BEEN SAID ABOUT MY PROVEN & EFFECTIVE
TIP LINE PROGRAM !!
"From the first day our TIP LINE was up and running, we were receiving calls from concerned citizens in our area. Surprisingly, all the calls we have received have contained legitimate information. Information that we have received has led to arrests of known drug offenders. While our Agency was shopping for a way to gather anonymous information, we priced 800 numbers. The cost was very high when combined with the cost of maintaining the number and the limitations of it, our Agency could not justify the expense. Then we discovered the TIP LINE company. "..... a quality company which is geared for complete customer satisfaction at a very reasonable cost." ".... system is second to none." All in all, the TIP LINE system is a wonderful investment for our Agency and plays an important role in our efforts to combat illegal drug activity."
COMMANDER SCOTT KING SOUTHEAST COUNTIES OF OHIO NARCOTICS TASK FORCE

"Investigators were tipped off on a drug deal that came down and they made some arrests. There was some welfare fraud going on and some child neglect and abuse cases. There's a little variety. Your basic program was successful from the beginning, but I wanted to enhance it if I could. I am convinced that the TIP LINE PROGRAM with its enhancements is a very valuable program and an asset to our enforcement efforts."
