Submit a Crime Tip

To report a crime that is in progress, dial 911 for an immediate police response.

The Cairo Police Department welcomes the general public to provide Crime Tips that will help solve past, present, and future criminal activity. It is important to remember that crime prevention is a mutual relationship between law enforcement and the community. It is vital that citizens assist law enforcement by providing information that will help solve past crimes and that will prevent planned criminal activity.

When providing information about criminal activity, please be as detailed as possible about the crime, the people involved, the location, the time and date the crime occurred and any other relevant information--as many times, partial information does not help in solving a crime.

Individuals can provide Crime Tips via email  HERE  or may also telephone the Criminal Investigations Division, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8am and 4pm, at 229-378-3096 Ext. 178.

Those who are willing to provide these tips have the option to remain completely anonymous or to provide information about themselves such as their names, an address, and a telephone number where we can contact them.

Crime tips received by the Cairo Police Department are investigated to the fullest extent. All leads are followed until exhausted or until the case is resolved.
