HOT LINE, WEB SITE ALLOW RESIDENTS TO PROVIDE ANONYMOUS INFORMATION TO POLICE
Elmira police are seeking the public's help to stop drug dealers,
users and other illegal activities in the city through a new
initiative called Operation Halt.
The approach features a hot line -- ( 607 ) 271-HALT or 271-4258 -- and
an online form. People can provide information about crimes and
report suspicious activity anonymously, officials said.
"We all have seen incidents across the city. We are not going to sit
back and take it," said Mayor John Tonello, who was flanked by Elmira
City Council members and police during a news conference Thursday.
