Enhancing Public Safety in Hawaii: Empowering Communities to Anonymously Report Gun-Related Incidents through the SaferWatch App
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / October 16, 2024 / In a major step towards enhancing public safety, Hawaii Department of Law Enforcement (DLE) has launched its first-ever anonymous gun tip line, powered by the SaferWatch app. This innovative initiative gives Hawaii residents a secure and confidential way to report illegal gun activity, helping law enforcement respond swiftly to potential threats and prevent gun-related violence.
The gun tip line, a first-of-its-kind for the state, allows citizens to anonymously submit tips about illegal gun possession, suspicious activity, or potential threats involving firearms. By leveraging the powerful and user-friendly SaferWatch platform, the initiative ensures that critical information reaches local authorities in real-time, enabling quicker and more effective responses.
Since its launch, the tip line has already resulted in multiple tips that have led to active investigations, highlighting its potential to make a lasting impact on public safety.
"We are proud to be part of Hawaii's initiative to enhance public safety," said Geno Roefaro, CEO of SaferWatch. "Our platform is designed to give residents a voice, allowing them to report suspicious activity without fear, while providing law enforcement with the tools to take swift and appropriate action. Hawaii's new gun tip line is a great example of how technology can be harnessed to create safer communities."

A Proactive Step for Hawaii's Safety
Hawaii's new gun tip line demonstrates the state's commitment to proactive crime prevention. With gun violence a growing concern nationwide, this initiative aims to empower communities to take an active role in ensuring safety. By using the SaferWatch platform, the state is bridging the gap between law enforcement and the public, encouraging community involvement in reporting illegal firearms and suspicious activity.
"The Gun Tip Line offers another way the public can assist law enforcement in protecting our neighborhoods," said DLE Director Jordan Lowe. "Guns that have been stolen, guns that haven't been registered and guns in the wrong hands are often used to commit crimes. The consequences can be tragic. So, if you see something, send something to the Gun Tip Line and help us make Hawai‘i safer."
