OPINION: “Why does it take so long to stop drug activity in front of the same New Bedford locations??”

A perennial question that has no simple answer. How do we put an end to it? Is it one thing in particular or a number of them? Where are the problem spots in your neighborhood?

“Why does it take so long to stop drug activity???

Throughout the year, there’s been drug activity everyday on Warren St across the police station on Brock Ave. This activity has been reported a number of times beginning earlier in the year and nothing has been done about it.

What does it take to stop this obstruction of tenancy (5 other units) due to the daily visits of drug addicts to this 1 unit??? The Mayor’s office was recently contacted, due to the failure of the police department throughout the year.” -Dean H Rose.
