If the person is guilty of the crime, then it isn't illegal to send an anonymous tip to the police. There may even be a reward for doing so.

If the person is not guilty of the crime, and you know he isn't, then yes, it is illegal to slander that person by making a false accusation. This doesn't matter how the accusation is made; by phone, letter, email or in person.
