tip line
Anonymous reporting number
A tip line is a phone number or communication channel set up to receive anonymous information, typically about crimes, misconduct, or safety concerns.
Law enforcement agencies operate tip lines for reporting suspicious activity; companies maintain them for whistleblowers: Call the anonymous tip line if you have information about the robbery.
Also called a hotline.
