Crime Reporting

Child Sexual Exploitation Reporting

Programs that provide a hotline, website or other mechanisms that the public can use to report instances in which an individual or group of individuals is involved in the possession, manufacture and/or distribution of child pornography; online enticement of children for sexual acts; child prostitution; child sex tourism; non-familial child sexual molestation; sending unsolicited obscene material to a child or other acts that constitute child sexual exploitation.

Consumer Fraud Reporting

Programs that provide a hotline, website or other mechanisms that consumers can use to report the activities of telephone and Internet scammers and other con artists who attempt to persuade older adults, individuals who live alone, disaster victims and other vulnerable people to part with their savings. Common scams include fraudulent prize offers, "free" travel packages that have hidden costs or which never materialize, "get rich quick" investments that turn out to be worthless, tax debt/refund scams, phony charities with names that are similar to well-known organizations and schemes involving promises to recover an individual's money following their victimization by another scam. Reports may be filed by consumer fraud victims or by people who have information about individuals they know to be perpetrating these types of scams.

Cyberbullying Reporting

Programs that provide a hotline, website or other mechanisms that people can use to anonymously report cases in which an individual has been victimized by cyberbullying, a form of harassment or stalking also known as "online bullying", that uses the Internet, cell phones or other devices to send or post text or images (particularly on social media sites) that are intended to hurt or embarrass another individual. Harmful bullying behavior can include posting rumors, threats, a victim's personal information (e.g. real name, home address, or workplace/schools) or pejorative labels (hate speech) with the objective of damaging the victim's reputation and friendships. It may also include public actions such as repeated threats, sexual remarks or defamatory false accusations, ganging up on a victim by making the person the subject of ridicule in online forums, hacking into or vandalizing sites about a person, or posting false statements as fact that are aimed at discrediting or humiliating the targeted person. Cyberbullies may use impersonation, creating fake accounts, comments or sites posing as their target for the purpose of publishing material in their name that defames, discredits or ridicules them. This can leave the cyberbully anonymous, which can make it difficult for them to be caught or punished for their behavior.

Insurance Fraud Reporting

Programs that provide a hotline, website or other mechanisms that the public can use to report, usually anonymously, individuals who have made false statements or otherwise intentionally misrepresented the facts surrounding an injury or loss in order to receive or increase the amount of compensation they will receive based on an insurance policy. Also included are programs that accept reports of fraudulent claims submitted by health care providers, pharmacies, auto repair shops and other parties that are providing services for insured individuals and using their insurance as a means of payment.

Non-Emergency Crime Reporting

Police departments and other law enforcement programs that provide a special number or website that people can use to report crimes that do not warrant an immediate response because the individual in question is not in immediate danger.

Terrorism/Radicalization Reporting

Programs that provide a hotline, website or other mechanisms that the public can use to anonymously report information about the activities of individuals or organizations that commit acts of violence as a means of supporting their cause; or about situations in which an individual or group has adopted increasingly extreme political, social or religious ideas and has become a potential source of terrorist activity.

Unlawful Distribution of Controlled Substances Reporting

Programs that provide a hotline, website or other mechanisms which the public can use to anonymously report information about organizations that sell cigarettes, beer, wine and other alcohol or tobacco products to minors, illegally distribute prescription drugs or are otherwise dealing illegally in controlled substances.
