Police Push-Alert Notification System
Posted on 01/27/2025
The Cape Girardeau Police Department has updated our push-alert notification system to send text messages and emails to keep our community updated about crimes, wanted suspects, road closures as well as critical incidents. We are rolling out our updated Cape Girardeau PD app. Download from cityofcape.org/crimetips

Developed by tip411, the Cape Girardeau PD app puts a powerful new crime-fighting tool into the hands of our residents and business owners. Our community members will now be able to find information, receive alerts, and send anonymous tips to us from any smartphone. The tips can also include photo and video files.
The Cape Girardeau PD app and tip411 anonymous text a tip system are 100% anonymous, as the technology removes all identifying information before police see the tips and there is no way to identify the sender. Officers viewing the tip can reply to create an anonymous two-way conversation. Individuals without a smartphone can still share information with CGPD by sending an anonymous text tip via cell phone by texting keyword CAPEPD and their message/tip to 847411 (tip411).
The implementation of this new Cape Girardeau PD app is just one more way our city is working to embrace new technology to better serve our community.
