About Crimeline of Southern NH


 
Crimeline Overview

Crimeline of Southern, NH, Needs Your Help

 

Crimeline of Southern, NH is a non-profit organization that came into existence on July 24, 1984 as a result of a group of citizens in Salem, NH who wanted to help the Salem Police fight crime. Since 1995, Crimeline supports the NH towns of Derry, Londonderry and Windham.

Crimeline board members include concerned citizens, police officers and Salem’s Chief of Police, as well as retired police chiefs and policemen. Funding is provided through local businesses, social groups, individuals and periodic fundraisers.

If a witness has information about a criminal activity, a wanted person or unsolved crime they can call Crimeline at 603.893.6600 or 800.498.4040. Your call is handled as an anonymous call and the caller is issued a secret Crimeline number, known only to the caller and Crimeline. The information provided is passed on to the investigative agency of the police in the town that has jurisdiction for the crime. If the information leads to an arrest, the caller receives a reward of up to $1,000. The reward is paid in cash. Callers are not required to appear in court. If a caller wishes to forego anonymity and is willing to testify as a witness in the trial, Crimeline doubles the cash award.

Since Crimeline has been in existence it has solved 131 cases with 43 defendants convicted. Property/narcotics valued at $181,000 have been recovered.

Most notably, during 2007, Crimeline tips helped solve a Derry murder and a Salem bank robbery. In the past, Crimeline received dozens of calls but recently there has been a lull in calls. With the local crime rate increasing in all four communities, there is a natural expectation that the tips would increase. Perhaps individuals don’t want to get involved. None the less it is important to stand up to drug dealers, thieves, domestic/child abusers and vandals. If you have a tip that might solve a crime in the communities represented by Crimeline, do call and be eligible to receive a cash reward.

Periodically the local newspapers publish articles on crimes of specific interest that the police would like to receive a tip on. Perhaps these newspaper articles might trigger your memory and you will be able to right a wrong and be rewarded for doing so.

On July 24th, 1984, Salem, N.H. Crimeline came into existence as a result of a group of citizens in Salem who wanted to help the Salem Police Department in making Salem, New Hampshire a safer place to live by helping to fight crime.

In 1995, Salem Crimeline expanded its coverage to include Windham, Derry, and Londonderry, N.H. Salem Crimeline changed its name to Crimeline of Southern New Hampshire, Inc. and added a second phone number so that people outside the area could call our 800 number. Crimeline of Southern New Hampshire, Inc. maintains two telephone systems at the Salem Police Station, for which they provide all of the funding. The phones are monitored 24 hours a day and are not part of the general police system, and are not taped.

If witnesses have information about criminal activity, wanted people or unsolved crimes, they can call Crimeline of Southern New Hampshire, Inc. at 893-6600 or 1-800-498-4040. Your call will be completely anonymous and you will be issued a secret Crimeline number, known only to you and to Crimeline. The information you provide will be passed on to the investigative agency of the Police that have jurisdiction for the crime. If the information leads to the arrest of the suspects involved, Crimeline will pay you up to $1,000 cash reward. Callers are not required by Crimeline to give their names or to come forward to testify as a witness in a trial. However, if a Crimeline caller wishes to forego anonymity and come forward to testify as a witness in a trial, Crimeline will double the cash reward. Since Crimeline has been in existence, they have helped the Police Department solve crimes such as burglaries, larcenies, narcotics (deals), as well as the recovery of stolen merchandise and arrest of those responsible. The success of Crimeline of Southern New Hampshire, Inc. over the past years has been the direct result of the support of the citizens in the community that Crimeline serves.

The support comes from businesses, social groups, and individuals. Without the support of these people, Crimeline would not have the effect that it has had over the years in helping fight crime and making these towns safer places to live. Credit can also be given to the news media for their direct involvement in getting the message of Crimeline out to the communities.
