Arson FAQ

What is “ARSON”

Arson is circumstances where someone intentionally, recklessly, or unlawfully sets a fire or is responsible for starting a fire.

When should you call the Arson Tip Line?

You should call when you have information possibly related to the origin of a fire.

If you call the Tip Line, will someone respond immediately?

The “tip line” is for messages that we will check at least daily. Depending on our investigative workload we may not be able to get back to you right away, so if your information is urgent and you need immediate assistance, call us at the general office numbers below.

If you leave a message, is your information anonymous?

Yes, your information can be anonymous if you wish. Please specify in your message if you do not want to be identified or contacted by investigators. But remember, a good witness is one of the best crime fighting tools available to help keep our communities safe!
