Columbia Borough Police Department · Official CRIMEWATCH form

Submit an Anonymous Police Tip

Prepare a marked test tip, then personally review and submit it on Columbia Borough Police Department’s official form.

Prepare a [TEST] anonymous tip

Police-tip testing remains enabled. Every word of the prepared subject and message is separated by [TEST]. Review all details before you personally submit anything to Columbia Borough Police Department.

In ColumbiaWalks 3.17.1, start with a new complaint or open a saved report and choose Prepare [TEST] Police Tip. Review the carried-over information, then choose Fill CRIMEWATCH Form [TEST]. The app selects Anonymous and Other, fills the marked subject and message, and dismisses the optional subscription notice. App-store and download availability is listed on our Contact Us page.

Prepare text in this browser

This optional helper works on your device. ColumbiaWalks does not receive or save this tip draft. This helper does not store your draft for later. Avoid adding your name or contact details if you want to remain anonymous.

The final subject, including [TEST] markers, must fit CRIMEWATCH’s 128-character limit.

Describe relevant evidence here. Choose any files yourself on CRIMEWATCH.

Finish on CRIMEWATCH yourself

Open CBPD’s official tip form

Opens in a new tab. This website cannot autofill or close prompts inside a separate CRIMEWATCH tab. The app’s embedded form provides those conveniences.

  1. Choose anonymity and Other

    Select “I wish to remain anonymous” and Other as the crime type. If the subscription popup appears in your browser, choose “No thanks, just browsing.”

  2. Paste and review

    Paste the prepared subject and message into their matching fields. Keep the [TEST] markings when editing. Attach any relevant original files yourself; attachments can contain identifying information.

  3. Personally submit

    Read and accept the required agreement, complete any CAPTCHA, and press Submit yourself. Read CRIMEWATCH’s response to determine whether it received your tip. Opening this link does not send a tip. Filling the form does not confirm receipt.

Your tip goes through the official form

This ColumbiaWalks page does not upload tip text, contact details, or attachments. No ColumbiaWalks report is automatically forwarded when you open the link. Information you enter on CRIMEWATCH is handled by CBPD and CRIMEWATCH under their own privacy practices. ColumbiaWalks cannot confirm receipt.
