Eau Claire Police Department launches TIP411

The Eau Claire Police Department has launched the TIP411 program. This program allows citizens to text anonymous tips of criminal activity to the Eau Claire Police Department.

To text a tip, enter the phone number TIP411 (847411). In the message section, type ECPD followed by a space and then your anonymous tip. Once you hit send, your tip is sent to Citizen Observer, scrambled, and then forwarded to the Eau Claire Police Department as an anonymous tip!

Remember this is for tips only. Always call 9-1-1 in the event of an emergency!

Calendar Day Parking

The Eau Claire Police Department would like to remind citizens that Calendar Day Parking regulations in the City of Eau Claire are in effect from November 1, 2010 until May 1, 2011.

This means that from midnight until 7:00 a.m. on odd-numbered days, vehicles shall only be parked, stopped or left standing on the side of the street having odd-numbered addresses. The reverse is true on even-numbered days.

This ordinance does not supersede more restrictive parking regulations already in effect. Questions regarding Calendar Day Parking should be directed to the Special Services Bureau at (715) 839-4993.

National Night Out on Crime

Eau Claire’s National Night Out on Crime community celebration will take place Tuesday, August 3, 2010 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Owen Park. Admission is FREE.

There will be food for the whole family, inflatable fun, carnival games, prizes, music and much, much more! There will also be displays of police, fire and medical services. Free child ID kits will also be available.

This is a night to stand together to promote awareness, safety and neighborhood unity. National Night Out on Crime showcases the vital importance of police-community partnerships and citizen involvement in our fight to build a safer community.
