Report crime anonymously.
Crime Stoppers ACT and ACT Policing held a public engagement event on Monday 26 November 2018 at Gungahlin Marketplace, as part of the national ‘Dob in a Dealer’ campaign. Representatives from ACT Region Crime Stoppers, ACT Policing and Neighbourhood Watch, were on hand to educate the public on what signs to look for and how they can take action against the manufacture and distribution of illicit drugs in their community.
The national Dob in a Dealer Campaign, funded by the Commonwealth Government last ran in 2016 and proved a very successful way to raise awareness of the issues and encourage the community to report to Crime Stoppers
Helpful details include frequent comings and goings from a property at unusual hours, permanently blackened or covered windows and doors, a sour chemical smell coming from a property or other unusual signs.
Australia has one of the highest rates of illegal use of drugs per capita in the world. The national ‘Dob in a Dealer’ campaign aims to stop Australia’s supply chain of illicit drugs including methylamphetamine (ice), cocaine, MDMA, heroin and cannabis, through police intervention of criminals and organised crime gangs who are most often responsible for the manufacture and supply of these drugs.
