Report
Narcotics Activity
Narcotics activity is usually reported to
the Police via phone.
There are however several ways you can report drug related
activity to the Madras Police Department. Aside from calling
on the phone, you can write
us a letter detailing the information you have,
or you could send us an E-mail.
Be sure to give as much detail as possible, to include names,
addresses, times of the day and days of the week when this
is taking place, vehicle descriptions and license plate numbers
etc....) The information given will be forwarded to the Narcotics
Division.

Anonymously
Reporting Narcotics
You can report drug activity anonymously,
however, the Narcotics Division prefers to obtain the identity
of the reporting person. This will strengthen a case if it
ever goes to court. If the identity of the reporting person
is given to the officer, that information will not be given
out to the suspected narcotics dealer if it is the request
of the reporting person.
