Reporting "Hot Spot" address where illegal drug taking activity is taking
place can be done anonymously! Postcards donated by Memorial Inc., and
distributed at the Over-the-Rhine Safety Sectors meeting are filled out
anonymously and mailed back to the Chamber. Since the program began in April 2005,
police have made 38 felony arrests and 40 misdemeanor arrests and confiscated
numerous illegal drugs due to the 34 cards received at the Chamber Office. Now
due to funding from Mercy Health Partners, there is now a Hot Spots Hotline
where residents, business and property owners can call anonymously to report
criminal activity.
