Drug activity is devastating to neighborhoods. Neighbor’s help is
critical in stopping that activity. Neighbors often have information
that would be impossible for us to get. The first thing that neighbors
must remember is to keep themselves safe and DO NOT EXPOSE YOURSELF
TO OBSERVATION.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR.
- A large amount of foot traffic
- Vehicles and pedestrians visiting a property for short periods
of time
- Glassine/plastic baggies found near the suspected location
- Used needles in the area.
WHAT INFORMATION TO GET - Keep a pad, and log the date and time
of the activity.
- License plate numbers from the vehicles visiting the suspect
location
- Descriptions of persons suspected of selling drugs
- When are the busiest times at the location.
- The type of drugs being sold - marijuana, cocaine, crack, etc.
- Where it is being sold from - ie: porch, side door, window,
etc.
WHO TO CONTACT.
If a drug sale is occurring as you watch, call 911 and ask for an
immediate police response.
If you have gathered intelligence information as described above,
you can call the Drug Hotline (428-6000) or your NSC Office.
