Drugs - where to report illegal activities

/ Narcology news / Drugs – where to report illegal activities

The real scourge of the 21st century, which has claimed no less lives than cancer and AIDS, is, of course, drug addiction. A drug addict is ready to do anything for a new dose: murder, robbery, violence - anyone can become a victim of such a person. Making illegal drugs at home can turn into a tragedy for all neighbors and people living nearby. Many crimes committed under the influence of drugs might not have happened if vigilant citizens had promptly reported information about the sale or sale of drugs to the relevant authorities.

Unfortunately, many sites on the Internet advise seeking help from the Federal Drug Control Service. However, this information is outdated. Back in 2016, such a service was disbanded according to the order of the President of Russia. Now this issue is being dealt with by the Main Directorate for Drug Control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. This article will provide up-to-date information on this issue.

Where can I report drug sales?

Information about the sale of drugs, the cultivation of narcotic plants (for example, cannabis), gatherings and dens of drug addicts, as well as suspicious actions on the part of strangers, can be reported primarily to the police.

You can contact the police in the standard way - by phone or through a statement at the police station, or through an application on the website. Any person who provides information about illegal actions by phone or online, via the Internet, is guaranteed complete anonymity. Police officers are always interested in increasing the level of crime detection, and therefore will accept the information provided. However, if you file a police report in person, you will not be able to remain anonymous.

The application will need to indicate that people who use drugs interfere with normal life through their lifestyle. For example, they make noise, damage things, threaten, insult, and cause bodily harm. Based on these facts, the district police officer is obliged to conduct an inspection. If he refuses to do this, it is necessary to record the facts of the offense, for example, on an audio recording or video, and then submit an application to the prosecutor's office.

It should be noted that there is liability for knowingly false testimony in accordance with Article 306 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. Therefore, you should not settle scores with anyone in this way.

In other cases, if contacting the police is not possible, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must be informed directly. This can be done through an anonymous website.

The easiest way is to call any regional helpline, or numerous public organizations involved in the eradication of drug addiction, for example:

unified anti-drug number website reception of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation

An application to the Ministry of Internal Affairs is completed using a special form, in which you will need to indicate your minimum personal data (first and last name), as well as a postal or email address where the report on the verification of the offense and the actions taken will be sent. Incoming messages are recorded and processed within approximately 30 days. Based on the results of the verification, a detailed response will be sent. It is worth recalling that, as in the case of the police, the person submitting the report bears full responsibility for his actions and deliberate misrepresentation of facts.

It is highly recommended not to deal with your own drug trafficking case on your own. This is due to the fact that each reason for contacting the police is unique and individual, and the successful outcome of this adventure depends on many factors. It is undoubtedly better to leave such a matter to professionals.

By contacting the police, it is possible to save both people who are already in trouble and those who can believe the beautiful words about drug addiction.

Difference between helpline and hotline

The difference between these methods of reporting to the police is due to the degree of anonymity of the caller. The hotline will ask for personal information, but the person has the right to refuse to give it. The helpline is specially designed to receive anonymous calls. No one has the right to demand that the caller provide their information. But he can do this on his own initiative if he wishes.

You can anonymously report a drug dealer:

According to a single federal number. You can call from any part of the Russian Federation for free.
Through the online reception of the UKON website https://mvd.rf/mvd/structure1/Glavnie_upravlenija/gunk.
On social networks VKontakte, Twitter, Instagram on the official pages of GUNK.

Citizens have the right to submit information to the nearest police station. Data on drug dealers will be accepted there in anonymous form. Like any application, the message about the drug dealer will be checked, but since it is anonymous, the applicant will not be informed about the progress of the check.

Appeal to the Ministry of Internal Affairs

When thinking about where to report drug trafficking, the Ministry of Internal Affairs comes to mind first. They actually have two phones:

Information -.
Reception -.

Calls will be accepted during business hours, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Citizens have the right to personally contact competent employees at the address: Moscow, st. Sadovaya-Sukharevskaya, 11.

Letters must be sent to a different address: 119049, Moscow, st. Zhitnaya, 16.

Office for Combating Corruption of Officials

This division of the law enforcement system deals with crimes in which officials are involved. Message numbers:

It will not be possible to anonymously report a drug dealer to this department; when calling, you must leave your passport information and contact number. This is explained by liability for false denunciation. Such an act is punishable under Article 306 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Transport Crime Directorate

Crimes in the field of drug trafficking are not within the competence of this department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but if we are talking about committing crimes in transport (for example, the distribution of drugs on a train), then it is worth contacting this department to detain a drug dealer. Each region of the country has its own telephone number:

8 – Central.
8 – Northwestern.
8 – South.
8 – North Caucasian.
8 – Privolzhsky.
8 – Ural.
8 – Siberian.
8 – Far Eastern.
8 – East Siberian.
8 – Transbaikalsky.

The Simferopol Department has 2 numbers for citizens to contact:

8 – for calls from the territory of Crimea.
1038 – for calls from other regions of Russia.

In addition to the listed departments, you can report drugs to the main department created to combat crimes in the sphere of drug trafficking - the State Drug Control Agency.

What to do if your neighbor is a drug addict?

Unfortunately, it often happens that the nicest people become neighbors. However, with regard to drug addicts, there are several simple principles, without violating which it will be possible to tolerably coexist with them in a limited space.

Do not have any common affairs - you do not need to lend money to a drug addict, bring food, clothes, sympathize and start long conversations. People with drug addiction do not understand the concept of personal space and other people's property. Therefore, having violated personal boundaries once, he will come again. This behavior should be nipped in the bud. The only way to help him is to contact the relevant law enforcement and medical organizations.

It is useless to criticize drug addicts or try to persuade them not to do what they want. Unfortunately, words mean little to them.

Caution is necessary - under the influence of drugs, a person is not aware of what he is doing. He will stop at nothing to get the required amount for the dose. The best way out in case of danger to life or the impossibility of leaving the premises due to a drug addict is to call the police. Do not open the apartment door if a drug addict is standing outside.

Doors and locks must be secure and always tightly locked. There is no place for open windows or vents in an empty apartment.

How to anonymously and safely report a drug den in Chelyabinsk

The effectiveness of this practice is confirmed by Shamil Karimov, head of the department for control and drug trafficking of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Chelyabinsk Region:

“We thoroughly check and process information on all anonymous messages. This year we have identified 18 drug dens, and we continue to work in this direction. This is the right decision - if people are afraid of something, it is better to let them report everything anonymously, so as not to fear for their own lives and safety. I think if the public helps us, we will be able to improve the situation with drug trafficking in Chelyabinsk and the region.”

At the same time, residents of other cities of the Chelyabinsk region can leave anonymous requests: representatives of the Our City organization will formalize the information, which will be processed by law enforcement officers on the spot. However, according to Oleg Chernyshov, it cannot be said that during the six months of operation of the Internet reception they received a barrage of anonymous messages.

“We did not strive to receive hundreds of requests at once, because we planned to first test the system and understand whether we could process such a volume of information. At the moment, we can definitely state that we are ready to assist police officers in the suppression of offenses related to drug trafficking, speaking on behalf of the residents of Chelyabinsk. If citizens provide us with information that we will pass on to law enforcement agencies, the problem of primary drug use will be reduced several times,” the head of the Our City organization is confident.

In addition, the administration of Chelyabinsk, as well as the heads of some districts of the city, actively cooperate with the public organization.

“The city administration is trying to support us - giving us the necessary information and contacts; The heads of municipalities of the Chelyabinsk region, as well as the heads of city districts, also interact well with us. In particular, the head of the Leninsky district, Alexander Orel, and Sergey Kochetkov, the head of the Metallurgical district, actively cooperate with the organization. This is not surprising: these are the areas that are considered the most problematic in terms of illegal drug distribution,” says Chernyshov.

Citizens who have information about drug dens or drug trafficking can anonymously and absolutely safely report it as follows:

Through the online reception of the organization "Our City", by filling out a form at the address: oper74.ru or by writing a letter to the email address. In addition, the website of the organization "Our City" has a special tab "Report a crime", where any South Ural resident can also leave information about drug den: ngchel. ru.

The editors of the Chelyabinsk Review publication have no commercial relations with the persons and organizations indicated in the text. This material was published as part of assistance to law enforcement agencies in the fight against illicit trafficking in narcotic and other dangerous substances.

Extreme measures to combat drug-addicted neighbors

If explanatory conversations and contacting the police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs do not yield any results, you can go to court with a request to evict a neighbor who regularly violates public order. It is worth saying that law enforcement agencies recommend going to court only in the most extreme cases and try to resolve everything peacefully. On legal grounds, if a person is the owner of this apartment and he has no other housing, it seems almost impossible to evict a drug addict. Below are some tips to help you win your case in court:

Activation of building residents, collection of collective complaints and signatures. This will be a much greater argument for the court to initiate a criminal case than the appeal of one person. It is important to remember that tenants, as apartment owners, do not have the right to evict a drug addict themselves through the court. Only local authorities will be able to do this after the collective appeal has been sent for judicial review.

Photo and video evidence of the drug addict’s inappropriate and antisocial behavior will be useful for evidence in court.

As an auxiliary measure, calling a sanitary-epidemiological station to inspect the condition of the apartment will be very helpful. Housing and communal services can request a certificate about the tenant’s non-payment of utility services and his debts. The more facts of aggression and violation of public order there are, the greater the chances of a judicial investigation and a successful outcome of the case.

Thus, drug addiction is a heavy burden both for the patient himself and for everyone around him. However, it is always possible to improve the condition of society by reporting illegal activities to law enforcement.
