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 are 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 illegitimate 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 gong 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
|
||
which can be concealed in a pocket?
|
||
|
||
4. Are teenagers frequenting the residence when normally they
|
||
should be in school?
|
||
|
||
5. Do the visitors appear unkempt, driving vehicles in disrepair
|
||
and, for the most part, unaccompanied by small children?
|
||
|
||
Should you observe some or all of the above activity, it would be
|
||
beneficial to you and your neighborhood to contact the agency
|
||
responsible for narcotics investigations in your location.
|
||
|
||
Your local, state, or federal law enforcement agency is available to
|
||
assit you should you suspect a drug trafficker in your neighborhood.
|
||
You are encouraged to contact your local police department, county
|
||
sheriffs or the narcotics unit.
|
||
|
||
Some of the questions they will ask you are:
|
||
|
||
1. The address of the suspected drug house and a description of it.
|
||
|
||
2. The name of the person(s) occupying the house; first and last
|
||
names, age or date of birth, height, weight, hair color, eye color.
|
||
|
||
3. Phone number of the suspect(s), if known.
|
||
|
||
4. Vehicle(s) belonging to the residence, including make, model,
|
||
color, year, and license plate number.
|
||
|
||
5. Dates and times of subjects visiting the residence and staying
|
||
for short periods of time, along with descriptions of them and their
|
||
vehicles.
|
||
|
||
6. The type of controlled substance you beleive is being sold.
|
||
|
||
If you do not wish to contact the law enforcement agencies directly,
|
||
you can send the information anonymously to:
