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?
|
||
|
||
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 investigation in your neighborhood.
|
||
|
||
Your local, state, or federal law enforcement agency is available
|
||
to you should you suspect a drug trafficker in your neighborhood.
|
||
You are encouraged to contact your local police department or state
|
||
police drug task force.
|
||
|
||
Some of the questions they will ask you are:
|
||
|
||
1. The type of controlled substance you beleive is being
|
||
sold.
|
||
|
||
2. The address of the suspected drug house and a discription
|
||
of it.
|
||
|
||
3. Information in regard to the person(s) suspected of selling
|
||
narcotics. (name, age, race, height, weight, hair color...)
|
||
|
||
|
||
4. Phone number of the suspect(s), if known.
|
||
|
||
5. Description of vehicle(s) operated by suspect(s).
|
||
(make, model, color, year, license plate number)
|
||
|
||
6. Dates and times of subjects visiting the residence and
|
||
staying for short periods of time, along with descriptions
|
||
of them and their vehicles.
