88-CRIME is a local anonymous tip line from the Pima County Attorney's Office that is hoping to help combat summer crime rates
TUCSON, Ariz. — As the temperatures rise, so do the crime rates in the summer. According to a report from the Department of Justice, crime is a lot more common in the summer than the winter.
“Help us out, help your police department out and provide us that information," said Fabian Pacheco, Pima County Attorney’s Office. “It's really nice to know that people are calling in with this information to not only protect their family but to protect the community," said Babette McDonald, Director of 88-CRIME.
Directors say it's the tipsters that are helping reduce the crime and helping law enforcement, one tip at a time.
