What is our job?
Discourage CRYSTAL METH (or illegal drugs) use STATEWIDE by reminding LANDLORDS that
it’s THEIR RESPONSIBILITY to PROHIBIT illegal activity on their PROPERTIES
1
How are we going to do it?
Working with police, prosecutors and the community, we will identify the MOST SERIOUS
landlord offenders. We will use every LEGAL means, including INJUNCTION
2
and FORFEITURE
3
to
STOP illegal drug activity.
How can you help?
1. USE TOUGH LOVE if illegal drug use is found in YOUR family (IT NOT EASY but it
MUST BE DONE! - we can offer suggestions)
2. BE INTOLERANT TO ICE ACTIVITY IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. BE VOCAL and
TAKE ACTION!
3. GET INVOLVED! Join your local community association. Be OUR EYES AND EARS
and report observed ILLEGAL DRUG activity to the POLICE. Sign anti-drug
NEIGHBORHOOD petitions or letters that are sent to PROPERTY OWNERS where drug
dealers reside. Contact your local Councilperson, State Representative or State Senator
and let them know what’s going on.
Reality Check
It is IMPOSSIBLE for the Police and Prosecutors to RESOLVE the ICE PROBLEM alone! The
ENTIRE community must WORK TOGETHER with law enforcement to STOP ICE.
Law enforcement has limitations regarding what it can or can’t do. BE PATIENT and try to
understand that the police must follow DUE PROCESS. The ILLEGAL DRUG problem didn’t happen
overnight. Expect the same amount of time it took for ICE to become a problem for it to be STOPPED.
What can I do if I suspect someone is dealing drugs in my neighborhood?
Do not confront a suspected drug dealer or user.
People under the influence of a narcotic can suffer from hallucination, paranoia, and
other adverse reactions from drug uses.
