tiplines
Anonymous informant numbers
Tiplines are phone numbers or communication channels where people can report information, usually about crimes or suspicious activity.
They're typically operated by law enforcement, news organizations, or anonymous reporting services: Call our tipline if you have any information about the robbery.
The term combines "tip" (a piece of useful information) with "line" (a telephone connection).
