On Thursday, Attorney General Ashley Moody and the Florida Association of Crime Stoppers (FACS) unveiled a first-of-its-kind anonymous tip line that works no matter where in the state the tipster is calling from. Now, all tipsters have to do is dial **TIPS (**8477) and they’ll be connected with the local Crime Stoppers office in the region they’re calling from. During a news conference in Tampa, Moody expressed optimism that the tip line would build on Crime Stoppers' track record of helping police solve open cases. “The network of 27 Crime Stoppers chapters serving Florida is excited about implementing this new technology,” added Frank Brunner, president of the Florida Association of Crime Stoppers and executive director for Manatee County Crime Stoppers.
