How do I send an anonymous email to my local police station ?
Look for “anonymous remailers” on Google. They’re a bit hard to find, but there should be a few around. Another method would be to get a laptop with an 802.11g wireless card, and use somebody else’s Internet connection (a lot of libraries, cafes, and McDonalds restaurants offer free and unsecured WI-FI Internet access). Use their Internet connection to sign up for a new Yahoo email account, and then use that to send your email. The only IP address the police will see (if they really bothered to track it down, which I doubt because they’d need to get a court order to get it) will be the address of the router belonging to the establishment that provides the Internet access and there would be no way for anyone to trace it to your computer.

There’s no need to send an anonymous email, you just need to go to the police station or call, and report your suspicion. Police agencies do not reveal your identity everything is confidential.

Sending and anonymous email would be a huge waste of time and effort on your part. You would need to call the police non-emergency number and ask to speak to an officer. You can then explain your issues to the officer. Sending an email, especially one that is “anonymous” would be deleted with no follow through, as there is no way to validify the claims made in the email. Plus, if you are the victim, there is no reason to hide from the police.
