Columbia Police Department Crime Tip-Line: Cally's Line

Note: For emergencies, always dial 911

From Evan Burton, Chief of Police
Columbia Police Department

The Columbia Police Department operates an anonymous Crime Tip-Line known as "Cally's Line" at 270-378-2259. This secure and confidential phone number is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and accepts phone calls, voicemails, and text messages from citizens in Adair County, Kentucky who wish to report criminal activity.

Criminal activities that can be reported include drug trafficking, wanted fugitives, burglary or theft information, and any other criminal activity you wish to report.

It was recently brought to my attention that at a local meeting an individual stated that anonymous information from the Columbia Police Department Crime Tip-Line "Cally's Line" was not being shared with other local law enforcement agencies. I want to assure the community that this statement is incorrect.

When you report an anonymous tip, the information is taken seriously and shared with the appropriate law enforcement agency within your jurisdiction to ensure the best possible response.

The Columbia Police Department officer who manages the Crime Tip-Line shares information with other agencies, including the Adair County Sheriff's Office, Kentucky State Police, Dispatch, and surrounding county law enforcement agencies.


We have already seen successful drug trafficking investigations and theft recoveries in Adair County as a result of information received through the Crime Tip-Line.

The Columbia Police Department believes in building and maintaining strong partnerships with local law enforcement agencies, community organizations, and citizens. Together, Adair County, we can make a difference and keep our community safe. "If you see something, say something."

If you would like to report illegal activities in Adair County, please contact the Columbia Police Department Crime Tip-Line (Cally's Line) at 270-378-2259. Phone calls, voicemails, and text messages are all accepted. Reports may be made anonymously.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Columbia Police Department. I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
