For people that have information that could help police but are afraid to come forward, the Boynton Beach Police Department has a new way to send information privately through www.bbpd.org.
Stephanie Slater, department spokeswoman, said the confidential information is a new feature on the site that lets the public submit detailed crime information.
There is a form that allows people to enter specific crime information about suspects, cars and drug transactions.
Users can even upload a photo with the tip.
Slater said another feature allows police to contact the source via the Web, without anyone having to know.
The link is called confidential tip information on the department’s main Web site.
