The NH CCU was formed in 2009 utilizing grant funding to establish a team comprised of investigators and a unit prosecutor. The NHCCU consists of two full-time NH state troopers, a part-time investigator (from the Attorney General’s Office), and a full-time prosecutor (Assistant AG). The unit is tasked is with investigating 130+ unsolved homicides, suspicious deaths, and long term missing persons. The original grant funds expired in 2013. At that time, the operating costs of the unit were rolled into the state’s general budget.
Also, more details as to the unit’s start up can be found in the 2010 CCU annual report at:
