Text Messaging to Report Crimes
Ranging from small businesses like ours to large corporations like Coca Cola, SJA Mobile provides solutions for all their mobile messaging needs. SJA Mobile realizes that more businesses are communicating through sending and receiving text messages on their phones. Their mobile messaging packages are top of the line with web based software and API tools. These leading processors are crucial in ensuring up-most service and execution. They have excellent billing management and customer service.
As a business leader they are proud to have executed an anonymous tip line with the FBI using text messaging technology. Now, citizens can anonymously report crime tips. The new service, called “Short Code” is an easy way to get messages to the proper authorities. Utilizing the text messaging system, law enforcement agencies will succeed in locating criminals and reduce the amount of crime. Reporting crime is the number one help given to law enforcement agencies. As this spreads across the country and the world, we will all be able to communicate with the agencies and do our part to report crimes. Text messaging technology is taking citizen efforts to report crime to a new level. D.C-area citizens are beginning to use the text messaging options on their phones to report crime. Hopefully, it won’t be long before the rest of us can follow suit.
