Drug Hotline Dial 631-852-Narc To Report Drug Activity

Suffolk Police Announce New Initiative Aimed at Reducing Drug-Related Crimes

New tips hotline created for residents to report drug activity

Suffolk County Police Commissioner Timothy D. Sini announced a new initiative aimed at reducing drug activity in Suffolk County during a press conference today at Suffolk County Police Headquarters in Yaphank.

As part of a redirected approach to fighting drug abuse in Suffolk County, a new tips hotline has been created for residents to report suspected drugs sales and drug activity in their neighborhoods. Residents are encouraged to call anonymously to 631-852-NARC to report information about drug dealers within their communities. That information will be vetted by a member of the Criminal Intelligence Unit and then dispersed to either Narcotics Unit detectives or precinct personnel depending on what information is reported.   

“This hotline is going to help forge a true partnership between the Suffolk County Police Department and the public,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Timothy D. Sini said. “We are asking the public’s help to fight this scourge and with the public’s help, we can make a real difference.”

Tipsters who provide information leading to arrests will be entitled to cash rewards thanks to a partnership with Suffolk County Crime Stoppers. Tipsters may remain anonymous even if they wish to receive a reward. The new hotline will be staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to accept information.

“If you see something, say something and Suffolk County Police will do something about it,” Commissioner Sini said.
