Capital Region Crime Stoppers is the tool they police want you to use. By calling, using the mobile app or the website, people can make anonymous reports about activities that concern them. The more calls and complaints about specific problems the better, because that is how the Albany Police will make decisions on where to deploy the new mobile force. Here’s how:

• Call Capital Region Crime Stoppers at 1-833-ALB-TIPS
• Go to capitalregioncrimestoppers.com and make a report there.
• Download the free “P3 Tips” app on your smart phone or tablet.
