Drug-fighting hotline set up

Tuesday, Oct. 14, 2003 | 8:47 a.m.

Metro Police has activated a hotline for people with information on drug dealers or users in Laughlin and Searchlight.

It's an informal connection to the police department for reporting activities related to illegal drugs in the southern tip of Clark County, Lt. Thomas Smitley said.

Information can be reported by calling (702) 298-8088 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

If callers wish to remain anonymous, they are encouraged to call during evening hours or on weekends and holidays and leave a message.

The hotline is similar to Crime Stoppers in the Las Vegas metropolitan area, Hood said.

The recorder was set up on an existing line in the Laughlin substation, so the cost to the department is minimal, police said.
