Róisín Shortall, TD, Minister of State with responsibility for the National Drugs Strategy has launched the 2012 Dial to Stop Drug Dealing campaign, in association with Crimestoppers.
This nationwide campaign provides people with a safe and confidential means to pass on information on drug dealing. To strengthen the impact of the campaign, from 2012 onwards the initiative will be operated in partnership with Crimestoppers, which has an excellent track record in acting on confidential information.
Speaking at the launch, Minister Shortall said: “Drug dealing ruins lives and can wreak havoc in communities. People may not realise that they can make a significant difference by dialling Crimestoppers on 1800 25 00 25. Even the smallest piece of information could prove useful to the gardaí in carrying out their investigations”.
