The Phone Call

Calls are received at the Manchester Crimeline phone. This phone is a stand alone instrument which does not provide caller ID, and conversations are not recorded. The Manchester Crimeline  Coordinator receiving the information completes the tip information form, makes initial inquiries and then passes the information to the investigating officer or divisioin. Confidential calls are accepted from citizens regarding any information about unsolved crimes or criminal activity.

By guaranteeing a caller`s anonymity, Crimeline allows the caller to give information in a positive atmosphere without the prospect of retribution. By offering cash rewards for information leading to the arrest and indictment of individuals involved, Crimeline encourages otherwise reluctant callers to provide valuable information.
