By Andrew Hoover Eastvale – Eastvale has collaborated with the sheriff dept. to help catch criminals through its new Persons Of Interest program. Crime prevention cannot be achieved by the police alone, according to a City of Eastvale news release. The Eastvale Police Dept. has established a 24 hour crime tip line dedicated to allowing the public to report information that might help the police track and find persons of interest, which may possibly be witnesses and/or suspects. The tip line is designed to be anonymous because the community is often afraid to report crime information or identify photographs of suspects/witnesses because they fear reprisal from the person they are reporting. This hotline will give members of our community the ability to provide confidential information to their police department and at the same time make our community safer. “The first day it was released we identified one of the persons of interest, so it’s already working,” said Michele Nissen the Public Information Officer of Eastvale. The Persons Of Interest program can be found on the city of Eastvale’s website by going to City Hall, then Police Department, then “Persons Of Interest”. From there, residents can see case numbers, a Brief Description of the case, and a picture of the person of interest. The Persons Of Interest tip line is (951) 955-2650 and residents as well as local citizens of the surrounding area, are urged to contact that number with any information they can give on any of the cases.
