A New Opportunity for the Public's Assistance in Solving Crimes
Hillsboro Police Department now has a web page where you can view persons of interest in crimes. If you know who the person of interest is or have information that might be helpful to the investigation, you can leave a tip through a link on the page.
A person of interest is an individual important to the successful investigation of a criminal case. This includes persons suspected of committing crime, witnessing crime, or even being victimized by crime. The fact that the photo is shown should not imply guilt.
