Text-a-Tip programs allow tipsters to help police

In Boston, the first city to heavily promote texting for crime tips, police have received more than 1,000 tips since the program began two years ago.

I really like this idea, as it protects the "anonymous" portion to it. My only problem with the text-tips in school is, kids who will be texting their friends, then when a teacher asks, they'll say "I was texting a crime tip" or something to that nature. Then again, not all plans are foolproof.
