It seems like a daily occurrence that the local news reports arrests made as a result of raids on suspected drug locations through out the North Country.

Sometimes they are caught because they blow themselves up, but most of the time it’s due to good police investigation.

That is work that local cops do not get enough recognition for. Something that might make it easier is for people to speak up when they suspect drug activity is taking place. We will never drive out this scourge unless citizens help.

It also doesn’t seem that making a so-called “gateway drug” legal can be the answer to the problem.

Thank you to cops for all you do.
