Brick Township Police Dept. offers 'drug hotline'

The Brick Township Police Department provides a "drug hotline" for citizens to report drug-related activity. The hotline was established as a means of providing the public with the opportunity to anonymously report drug activities in their neighborhood. It is answered and monitored by detectives assigned to the Drug Enforcement Unit. Messages are checked on a daily basis. Persons reporting crimes can leave a recorded message describing the activity or they can request to be contacted by a detective.

Any citizens aware of such activities should contact the hotline at (732) 920-6258. All calls are kept confidential.

Callers should have the following information when reporting any drug activity:

The address where the activity is occurring. If that is not available then a complete description of the residence would be helpful.

Describe the nature of the activity completely, including an unusual amount of persons coming and going from the residence many times at odd hours of the day or night; persons parking around the corner or down the street and approaching the residence on foot; and persons who visit the residence often and only stay for 15 minutes or less.

Describe frequent visitors to the residence and their vehicles.

Any other information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, should be reported.
