WHAT IS CRIMELINE
The LSPD Crimeline is a confidential crime reporting system, allowing residents of Los Santos to submit less formal crime tips to the Detectives of the LSPD's Office of Criminal Intelligence. This is in response to the challenges posed by reporting criminality for those in fear of their safety. Crime-line is a direct line between concerned citizens of Los Santos and the three detective divisions operated by the Los Santos Police Department

THE LSPD'S RESPONSE TO CRIMELINE
Tips received through Crimeline will be directed to senior detectives within the LSPD's OCI Detective Divisions. (Vice Division, Street & Violent Crimes Division and The Gang & Narcotics Division) who will assess the tip for its credibility and reliability. Tips will then be used to furnish existing enquiries or as points of origin for new investigations. Numerous safeguards will be in place to ensure that malicious tips do not waste Police Resources or negatively impact upon the lives of innocent Los Santos
