tip411

The Cedar Park Police Department recognizes and appreciates that public safety is a community-wide effort and that information sharing between residents and law enforcement is key.  With that in mind, we have partnered with tip411 to offer tools that allow you to anonymously submit crime tips/safety concerns to the Police Department and to sign up to receive alerts sent out by CPPD.

Public Safety Alerts

The Cedar Park Police Department works diligently to investigate and analyze crimes and attempted crimes.  We then use that knowledge to work towards preventing and discouraging future criminal behavior.  In the event that we have non-emergency safety information to share, we will do so by utilizing the tip411 alert tool. 

You have the ability to customize your alert subscription.  You may choose the neighborhood or area that you are interested in by signing up for an account using the following link: Cedar Park Police Department Public Safety Alert Sign Up Once you've logged in, you will be taken to a screen that displays a link called Cedar Park Police Department on the top right-hand side of the screen.  Click on that link to be taken to the list of neighborhoods, apartment complexes, and business districts.  You may log back in and change your settings any time you like.

The Public Safety Alerts are different from Warn Central Texas which we also encourage you to sign up for.  With it, you will receive emergency alerts from the City of Cedar Park. The Department also frequently utilizes Facebook and Twitter to communicate with residents.  We invite you to like us and follow us to get all the latest from CPPD.
