CrimeStoppers getting app JAMIE DUFFY | The Journal Gazette Fort Wayne Crime Stoppers will soon take tips and video through an app, P3Tips. Although Crime Stoppers slated the app's debut for Feb. 1, Crime Stoppers television spokesman Ken Fries, a former Allen County sheriff, has been promoting it on local TV spots. “It was obvious we needed to get things modernized,” Fries said Wednesday in a telephone interview. Additionally, Fort Wayne detectives were asking for “a system to get videos where people can remain anonymous,” Fries added. Fries became part of Crime Stoppers about two years ago. P3Tips is nothing new to Crime Stoppers nationwide, but it will be new for Fort Wayne. The app has also been used in schools to report bullying, Fries said.
