How does Salem Crimeline work?
Crimeline is a volunteer board that works with the Salem Police Department to encourage people to call in tips on criminal activity anonymously. Rewards up to $1,000 are given out for arrests or indictments based on the information. If you have a crime tip call (603) 893-6600. The call is anonymous and you will be advised how a reward is collected if the tip pays out. • What is Community Oriented Policing? This concept is being implemented over time in the police department and Salem community. It is an idea that has taken hold in communities throughout the nation as it seeks more community involvement in public safety concerns. The primary objective of Community Oriented Policing or C.O.P., is getting the police officer and neighborhood to work together and solve problems. We will be encouraging the community to get more involved and not expect the police to do it all. This can include starting new programs, using different patrol techniques, or simply using education to reduce crime
