Drug Sales & Drug Activity:
What can you do?
· Contact your local Police or Sheriffs Department to arrange a neighborhood watch group.
· Report ALL suspicious activity or EXCESSIVE traffic to houses all hours of day and night.
· Odd or unusual smells of chemicals in neighborhood (before I was a cop, I lived right behind a methamphetamine lab without realizing it. It could have taken out 4 square blocks of houses if it blew up including my wife’s day care)
· Call in a DETAILED description of people you suspect of dealing drugs on the street. A DETAILED description will give the officer the right to approach a specific person.
· Report where drugs are being stored. Dealers often keep their dope nearby but not on them. Usually in a trash can, a bush or a vehicle. If we get a good description of the dealer AND where the dope is, (even anonymous) the dealer goes with me in handcuffs.
