Anonymous Tips to Sheriff’s Office

In light of suspicious activities and concerns in our neighborhoods, the Westmoreland County (VA) Sheriff’s Office asked the Placid Bay Civic Association to post the following INFORMATION ON REPORTING AN ANONYMOUS TIP.

To report an anonymous tip using Tip411 in Westmoreland County, VA, you can use the Tip411 system. Text the keyword “WCSOTIP” followed by your tip to 847411. Add Your Tip: Provide the information about suspicious activity or concern.  However, if there is an emergency, call 911.  

Web Form: Visit the Westmoreland County Sheriff’s Office website (www.westcoso.us). Locate the anonymous tip form, fill out the form and submit it.

Tips for effective tip submitting:

1.) Provide as much detail as possible, including the location, date, time, and nature of the incident.

2.) Be honest: Report the information truthfully.

3.) Be anonymous: If you prefer to remain anonymous, use the Tip411 system and do not include personal information.
