CRIMELINE FOR THE HAMPTONS, INC.

AWARDS SCHOLARSHIPS

Non-profit presents annual scholarship to five recipients this year

HAMPTON — Crimeline for the Hamptons, Inc., presented five $1,000.00 scholarships to
graduating seniors and several returning college students last month. For the past six
years, the non-profit organization has awarded annual scholarships to students from
Hampton, North Hampton, Hampton Falls and Seabrook who wish to pursue careers in
law enforcement or criminal justice and to children of police officers.

This year for the first time, in addition to high school graduates, the group presented
scholarships to college students that are continuing their higher education.

“We’re always looking for ways to express support for our local police departments,”
said Mary Ganz, Chairman of Crimeline for the Hamptons, Inc. “This scholarship helps
to encourage those who wish to pursue careers in criminal justice and law enforcement
and supports the families of police officers in our area, too.”

Bryce Libbey, recent graduate of Winnacunnet’s Class of 2017 and one of this year’s
Crimeline scholarship recipients, will attend the University of New Hampshire with the
goal of becoming a translator to serve the country with the Federal Bureau of
Investigation.

Libbey, along with all of the scholarship applicants, had to submit an essay that
explained his desire to pursue a career in law enforcement. Crimeline’s Board of
Directors considered all of the applications and essays to select each scholarship
recipient.

“The scholarships for local students interested in law enforcement is a great way to
promote continued education for those looking to serve in law enforcement and really
helps these students achieve their goals,” said David K. Hobbs, Deputy Chief of Police
for the Hampton Police Department and member of Crimeline’s Board of Directors.
