FALSE REPORTS
Please know that reports, themselves, are fielded by a “live” tip line specialist and subsequently shared with a number of community entities, including but not limited to:  The Attorney General’s Office, the School District, the Beaver and Brighton Twp. police departments, the local fire departments, and any other Federal, State or Local entity that is germane to the report.  The Office of Attorney General (OAG) encourages District Attorneys to investigate and file charges in the event of a false tip as a deterrent, and the OAG is prepared to assist local District Attorneys in these investigations.  Therefore, please keep in mind that any misuse of this system is against the law and will be investigated to the fullest.  There will be no anonymity given to false claims.
