Submitting a Safety Tip
Community members are encouraged to share practical safety knowledge. Your tip could help someone avoid a dangerous situation.
How to submit
Go to Submit a Safety Tip and fill out the short form:
- Tip content — write your tip clearly and concisely (50–300 characters recommended)
- Category — choose the crime type your tip addresses
- Context — choose the setting where your tip applies
- Area (optional) — if your tip is specific to a neighbourhood, select it here
- Source (optional) — if your tip is based on a specific incident or pattern you have observed, you can note that here
What happens after you submit
- Your tip enters a review queue
- An editor reviews it for accuracy, actionability, and appropriateness
- If approved, it is published within 1–3 business days
- You do not need to create an account — submissions are anonymous by default
What gets rejected
- Generic advice with no specific actionability (e.g. “be careful”)
- Tips that name specific individuals as perpetrators
- Unverified claims about specific locations that could constitute defamation
- Duplicate tips that are substantially similar to existing published tips
Privacy
You do not need to provide any personal information to submit a tip. The submission form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to prevent spam — this does not track you.
If you include contact information in the form’s optional field, it is used only for editorial follow-up and is never published.
Editing a published tip
Once a tip is published, edits require contacting us. If you notice a published tip that is outdated or inaccurate, contact us with the tip ID and the correction.
