Salem Police Department

I have been going to Salem for years and I have been working in salem for the past year and a half. Every experience I have had with the Salem Police Department is negative. I cannot recall interacting with an officer that seemed to care about helping people. I have seen officers violate traffic laws to many times to count. I’ve seen them turn on their lights to run a red light just to turn them off again after the intersection. I’ve seen them make illegal u-turns without lights or a siren on and I’ve seen them driving well above the speed limit without lights or siren on. Recently I called to complain about an officer excessively speeding without his emergency lights or siren on and the woman that worked at the station on the other end of the phone was very rude, and she made it clear that she did not care about anything I was saying. I am in no way writing a bad review because i don’t like cops. I do like cops. I understand that police officers have a dangerous and stressful job, i respect that. I think that no city, state, or country could function without them. There is something wrong with this towns police force. They do not set an acceptable example and they hold themselves higher than civilians.

Tyrants work here that like to violate their oaths and violate the constitution. Times are changing. Law enforcement who violate their oaths and the constitution will be shot and killed for the safety of the public and the safety of our constitution. You tyrants are going to learn quick that the people are in charge and you work for us. More and more Americans are waking up and realizing law enforcement aren't here to protect the people but to steal and kill the people. Abolish ALL law enforcement except dually elected Sherriffs amd require all citizens to carry. Salem new Hampshire PD is a very dangerous gang of corrupt law enforcement. False charges after the fact 6 months later? You know which officer im speaking of...execution isn't good enough for you. What happens when you put the oath of corrupt cops against the oath of soldeirs..considering the supreme court has ruled law enforcement don't have a constitutional duty to protect the citizens that DUTY falls on the oath of soldeirs. Salem new Hampshire PD will be dealt with on a personal level.

The stigma of the Opiate Epidemic is unfortunately alive and well within the Salem PD, my son overdosed and was essentially dead, the police stood there watching ME administer Narcan and perform 15 minutes of CPR, when EMS arrived, and THEY WERE PHENOMENAL, one particular snake of a cop told me to stop calling 911 when my son overdoses, he repeated this more than once that night ... Officer Diresta was wonderful ... When I tried to file a grievance against this disgusting public servant he refused to give me his badge number, and I was denied my RIGHT to speak with the Captain or Chief, when I called the Town Manager 5 times I never received a response ... This could be ANYBODY's child ... I had to go all the way to the GOVERNOR and file an official written complaint about this incident! SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER KNOW NO SOCIOECONOMIC BARRIERS, FORTUNE OR FAME, GENDER OR EHNICITY, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, OCCUPATION OR POLITICAL VIEWS!! NO ONE IS IMMUNE!! SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON THE SPD, and the Town Manager ... They are supposed to PROTECT AND SERVE ... SPD NEEDS SOME INTERVENTIONAL WORK SHOPS AND START CARRYING NARCAN ... I DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL OPINION, DO YOUR FREAKING JOB! IF IT WAS ONE OF THOSE COPS KIDS I BET THEY WOULD BE SINGING A DIFFERENT TUNE ...
