"Our officers are already carrying out a huge amount of work to target drug dealers, and we need the support of our communities to get the intelligence we need to assist our investigations.
"If you have information about drug dealing or suspicious activity in your community please report it to us.
"No matter how small the piece of information is, it will be recorded and used to build up a bigger intelligence picture that officers can then act on."
