Marijuana Tip Line

June 17, 1998 - San Diego Union Tribune - letters@uniontrib.com

SAN DIEGO -- A Marijuana Tip Line has been set up for citizens to report suspected marijuana cultivation or trafficking in San Diego County.

The number is (619) 616-4444.

The line is operated by the county's Integrated Narcotics Task Force and the Sheriff's Department.

Callers can remain anonymous if they choose. Authorities ask that tipsters be as exact as possible on locations, suspects or vehicle information. If callers would like to speak with a narcotics detective, they will be referred to another telephone number.

"Citizens may come upon marijuana gardens being grown indoors, while attending a party, or stumble upon a marijuana crop while hiking their favorite backcountry trail," Lt. Bill Baxter said. "Either way, the Marijuana Tip Line is for those citizens who may have hesitated to call about these crops in the past."
