Sheriff Adrian Garcia and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO), in collaboration with iThinQware, Inc. ©, announced today the launch of a free mobile application that allows citizens to turn in crime tips using their mobile device.

iWatchHarrisCounty is a virtual crime watch program that empowers citizens across the county to report suspicious behaviors or activities by turning in tips as text messages and emails with image and video attachments, and phone calls directly to the HCSO from almost any mobile phone or PC. Citizens can remain anonymous or may choose to disclose their identity.
