Dear Resident,

We are writing to local residents as part of increasing the amount of positive legal action taken against people who possess illegal drugs, sell drugs or grow their own at home. In order to help you make your community safer and drug free, we need your help in reporting such matters.

Illegal drugs can come in many different forms and it can sometimes be difficult to know if someone is possesses them, selling them or growing/manufacturing them. Common signs that this may be happening include;

What to Look out for – 

There are various ways to report suspected drugs possession, dealing and/or cultivation/production and any associated anti-social behaviour;

You can report matters ANONYMOUSLY if you prefer, we do not need to come to your home.
