Always report suspicious situations
Properties where drugs are stored, cut, or traded attract criminals and violence. Help stop the violence by reporting suspicious situations. Do you often see strange people coming and going at unusual times? Are there frequently different people at the door at odd hours? Are the windows always darkened with curtains and is it unclear who lives in the house? Then it may be a drug house.
