Dogs on the street know the dealers

A campaign aimed at encouraging people to report drug dealing in their area has been launched by Craigavon Community Safety Partnership (CCSP) and District Policing Partnership (DPP) in conjunction with Northern Ireland Crimestoppers and the PSNI.

The campaign plays on the idea that even the dogs on the street know who the drug dealers in a community are, meaning that clearly some members of the public also know and should do the right thing and report them.

Contact Crimestoppers anonymously

"If you have any information about anyone involved in criminal activity, particularly drugs and drug dealing, but you want to remain anonymous then contact Crimestoppers," urges Councillor Michael McGoldrick, Chair of CCSP and DPP.

"Crimestoppers will pass information to the relevant authority and no-one can trace it back to you. You don't have to let a few people in your area spoil a peaceful life - make that important call and report any information you may have. Crimestoppers don't want to know who you are - they only want to know what you know."

The campaign featured on billboards across Northern Ireland during February. Postcards were also distributed door-to-door in hotspot areas where drugs and drug dealing are perceived to be higher.
