Founded in 1994 as Concord Crimeline, Inc., Concord Regional Crimeline, Inc. was created to provide a secure and anonymous way for the public to share information with local law enforcement. The program was established to help solve crimes, support investigations, and strengthen the safety of our communities. To encourage participation, the organization offers monetary rewards for tips that significantly contribute to arrests and/or convictions.
Building on the success of the original program, Concord Regional Crimeline expanded in 2001 to serve additional communities throughout the greater Concord area. Today, the organization supports 20-member communities, along with the Merrimack County Sheriff’s Office and the Merrimack County Department of Corrections. Member communities include Allenstown, Barnstead, Boscawen, Bow, Canterbury, Chichester, Concord, Deering, Dunbarton, Epsom, Franklin, Henniker, Hillsborough, Hooksett, Hopkinton, Loudon, Northfield, Pembroke, Pittsfield, Salisbury, and Webster. Most are located within Merrimack County, with the exception of Hillsborough and Barnstead.
Since its inception, Concord Regional Crimeline has helped solve hundreds of cases, ranging from motor vehicle offenses to homicide investigations, and has awarded more than $100,000 in rewards to tipsters whose information played a significant role in arrests and convictions.
Anonymous tips can be submitted by calling 603-226-3100, online at https://crimewatch.net/us/nh/merrimack/crimeline, or by texting TIP234 and your message to CRIMES (274637).
