WeTip is a 3rd party nonprofit organization, staffing tip operators who take anonymous tips or calls from citizens. Once the information is received, it gets forwarded to those law enforcement agencies that are “WeTip members only.” WeTip is not an investigative agency and they do not do any investigations or follow-ups. It is up to the participating WeTip law enforcement agency to decide the best course of investigative action.
WeTip tracks the cases through police custody and prosecution and then when there has been a conviction in the case, WeTip approves a reward, generates a press release, places the information on the WeTip internet website, and informs the caller (informant) there is a reward approved on the case.
When someone calls WeTip, no one asks them who they are or where they live. The operator will answer, "this is the WeTip hotline, please do not give your name" after this, the WeTip operator asks some questions to find out about the crime and who committed it. The operator will give the caller a case number so that they can call back if they find out more information, or if they want to find out the status of the case. No one will ever know who made the call.
