The See Send app, available on both Android and iOS, allows users to send either a text note or a photo. The app [...] will allow people to send a photo or written note to the state police Intelligence Center, where its credibility can be examined and referred to the proper law enforcement agency if necessary. [It] should be used to report suspicious behavior or specific situations like an unattended backpack in a public place, not simply hunches. The app is already supported by Pennsylvania, Ohio, Louisiana, Colorado and Virginia. State Police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico likened the app to a telephone crime tip line, with police hoping that making it easier to pass on tips will make it more likely that people will use it. "If you see something that may be linked to terrorism, send something," D'Amico said. "Your tip could provide valuable information that could prevent a tragedy." For emergencies, you should of course still call 911. More information about the 'See Something, Say Something' campaign can be found here. The See Send app is a free download on Google Play.
