HOW TO RECOGNIZE A DOPE HOUSE, AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Every neighborhood seems to have at least one house which attracts
|
|||
|
|
more visitors than normal. This could be due to a number of
|
|||
|
|
reasons.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Although there a number of different legitimate reasons that a
|
|||
|
|
residence in a neighborhood will receive an inordinate amount of
|
|||
|
|
foot and vehicle traffic, there is also an illegitmate reason. The
|
|||
|
|
people in the residence could be selling narcotics.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
There are certain things that should be looked for if you suspect
|
|||
|
|
that the resident is selling narcotics.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Are persons going to the residence and staying a short time
|
|||
|
|
(five to ten minutes) then leaving?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. Is there pedestrian and vehicle traffic at the residence
|
|||
|
|
all hours of the day and night?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. Are money exchanges taking place at the front door or in
|
|||
|
|
the yard area of the residence, with the visitor receiving
|
|||
|
|
a small package that can be concealed in a pocket?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4. Are persons bringing electronic equipment (televisions,
|
|||
|
|
stereos, car radios, VCR's) and leaving without them?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5. Are teenagers frequenting the residence when normally they
|
|||
|
|
should be in school?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
6. Do the visitors appear unkempt, driving vehicles in need
|
|||
|
|
of repair, and for the most part, unaccompanied by small
|
|||
|
|
children?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
