Crimestoppers

An anonymous hotline has helped police in Scotland make more than forty arrests concerning drugs-possession, dealing- from altogether 151 apprehensions using the hotline information. There was also a considerable amount of illegal substances removed from the streets due to the arrests. The hotline is completely anonymous, even police don't get names from them, which is clearly the main reason for its success. Consider the possibility that one drug dealer wants to eliminate competition in the neighborhood. All they have to do is dial the hotline, and if they provide enough detail or evidence that the police think it could lead to an arrest, then they have successfully achieved their goal. One down, lots of others to go, still, when fighting crime little victories count a lot. Naturally, most calls come from people worried about their community, and police forces admit that they get a lot of useful intelligence from the hotline, even though some overzealous cop wannabes can't be avoided. They encourage people to use the hotline to report events that are suspicious, or provide detail on individulas wanted by the authorities. It's a nice thing to see that something simple is working and has actual results. Stolen goods were another field where the hotline proved to be a major help. Still, drugs are the main objective, and so far the hotline has helped a great deal. Maybe it's time people realize they can help keep their communities clean by advocating police work, not hindering it. Just don't get too carried away.
