A prominent construction company based in Mount Vernon, New York, PCI Industries Corp. has completed projects for the New York City and New York State departments of transportation. Providing milling and paving services as well as bridge repair work, PCI Industries frequently donates to first-responder agencies, including the Mt. Vernon Police Department.
To make crime reporting easier for residents, the Mount Vernon Police Department rolled out a texting program called Tip411 for reporting crime tips. By texting a message to 847411 (tip411), people can send police information anonymously about suspicious or criminal activity. Police officers are able to reply to the text in real time.
Designed to work with both Apple and Android operating systems, the Tip411 platform ensures the texter’s anonymity by removing all identifying information before police officers receive the text. People also can submit their anonymous tips online through cmvny.com. If the case is an emergency and immediate help is needed, police advise community members to dial 911 rather than texting.
