It has been said before on here but will keep saying it: You are our eyes and ears. If you see something suspicious, please call. Don't feel like you are bothering us. Many of the times we catch the criminals is because of calls we receive from the citizens. What has thought to be a simple ‘tip’ has led to high-volume drug dealers being put in prison.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR:

Large amounts of foot traffic.
Vehicles and pedestrians visiting a property for short periods of time.
Used needles in the area.

WHAT INFORMATION TO GET: (Keep notepad, and log the date and time of the activity)

Address and description of location

The type of drugs being sold if known - ma*****na, he**in, pills, etc.
Where it is being sold from: front door, window, side door
