What Can I Do About Drugs In My Neighborhood?
The Mesa Police Department provides several ways a citizen can use to
report narcotic-related activity anonymously. However, it is generally preferred that the identity of the
person providing the information be given. This will assist officers if arrests are made and testimony
in court is required. If a citizen requests anonymity for fear of
retaliation or any other reason, officers will conduct their investigation
without the identity of the complainant.
A citizen who has a friend or relative they suspect is
engaged in narcotic-related activity may also use these
reporting options to
provide us with any pertinent information. It is not necessary
for the investigating officer to know the identity of the
complainant. If the identity of the complainant is divulged to
the investigating officer, at the request of the complainant,
this information will be kept confidential.
If you wish to send information anonymously regarding drug
activity within the City of Mesa,
information can be reported online, by text message
or by using a smart phone app.
If you do provide information, please leave as much of the
following information as you can. Any information you leave will
remain confidential.
- Names and descriptions of people involved
- Addresses/phone numbers at location of suspected
activity
- Drug type, if known
- Vehicle description/license plate
- Weapons involved
- Type of activity observed
