Alerts sent by text message to your cell phone are also available. Citizen Alerts inform all registered users of public safety concerns in your area. The alerts contain information about crime trends, descriptions of suspects, missing persons, and advice on personal safety and how to safeguard property. Business Alerts are targeted to specific business types so your business will receive information about crimes that are pertinent to your business. Case Alerts allow law enforcement to automatically disseminate information about open cases to all Registered Citizen Alert users. Watch Group Alerts allow law enforcement to send targeted alerts to specific neighborhoods with Information about crimes that are happening in their immediate area.

Citizens are also encouraged to report all suspicious activity regardless where it occurs. • The initiative is not meant to replace citizens reporting of criminal activity to their community police officer or City Hall neighborhood assistant. Rather, the project is designed to give citizens an anonymous alternative to report drug houses or other crimes in their neighborhood should they choose to do so. • Crime Stoppers encourages citizens to get to know their beat and community police officers who can assist them in many ways. These officers have a broad perspective of activities taking place in the neighborhoods the patrol and can be a valuable resource. • In addition, Crime Stoppers encourages citizens to develop a working relationship with the neighborhood assistant in their city council district. These City employees can answer questions about many city services, and are can assist citizens in many ways. • Crime Stoppers has expanded the way it now receives anonymous tips from citizens. o Citizens can still report criminal activity anonymously by calling 267‐2111. o Citizens living outside of Wichita can report criminal activity anonymously by calling 1‐800‐222‐TIPS o Citizens can report criminal activity anonymously by sending a text message on their cell phones to CRIMES (274637) and beginning their message with the word TIP217.

Crime Stoppers Neighborhood Initiative ------------------4------------------ Top 10 signs of an Abuser 1. Jealousy & Possessiveness – Becomes jealous over your family, friends, co-workers. Tries to isolate you. Views his woman and children as his property instead of as unique individuals. Accuses you of cheating or flirting with other men without cause. Always asks where you’ve been and with whom in an accusatory manner. 2. Control – He is overly demanding of your time and must be the center of your attention. He controls finances, the car, and the activities you partake in. Becomes angry if woman begins showing signs of independence or strength. 3. Superiority – He is always right, has to win or be in charge. He always justifies his actions so he can be “right” by blaming you or others. A verbally abusive man will talk down to you or call you names in order to make himself feel better. The goal of an abusive man is to make you feel weak so they can feel powerful. Abusers are frequently insecure and this power makes them feel better about themselves. 4. Manipulates – Tells you you’re crazy or stupid so the blame is turned on you. Tries to make you think that it’s your fault he is abusive. Says he can’t help being abusive so you feel sorry for him and you keep trying to “help” him. Tells others you are unstable. 5. Mood Swings – His mood switches from aggressive and abusive to apologetic and loving after the abuse has occurred. 6. Actions don’t match words – He breaks promises, says he loves you and then abuses you. 7. Punishes you – An emotionally abusive man may withhold sex, emotional intimacy, or plays the “silent game” as punishment when he doesn’t get his way. He verbally abuses you by frequently criticizing you. 8. Unwilling to seek help – An abusive man doesn’t think there is anything wrong with him so why should he seek help? Does not acknowledge his faults or blames it on his childhood or outside circumstances. 9. Disrespects women – Shows no respect towards his mother, sisters, or any women in his life. Thinks women are stupid and worthless. 10. Has a history of abusing women and/or animals or was abused himself – Batterers repeat their patterns and seek out women who are submissive and can be controlled. Abusive behavior can be a generational dysfunction and abused men have a great chance of becoming abusers. Men who abuse animals are much more likely to abuse women also.
