That was going to be my first stop. Didn’t know if any other entity would be more useful

If it’s anything regarding distribution or production, then health-based social organizations aren’t where to look. But it’s good that you were asking about alternatives.

Don't call the cops... pretty much ever. They don't help anyone and more often than not they needlessly escalate the situation. See if there are any social workers in your area who help with addiction.

SW here. We don't do this. Addiction treatment is voluntary or court ordered. We don't go out to homes and talk to people about addiction treatment because their neighbor wants them to stop using.

What would you suggest for a non-police option as a social worker?

Why would you want drug dealers on the streets are you insane? the cops should be the first option, I’m pretty sure any non-LE agency can’t do much about the dope house.

And you think the cops are going to help you? LOL.

I'm not saying I want drug dealers on the street - I'm saying that cops don't actually help in these situations, so we need to come up with alternative ways to help our communities. Because cops in general don't have any interest in helping their communities, let alone Baltimore Cops.

More like, "I'll take Things someone who has been forced to interact with the police would say" Some of you still think the cops are out here to help you, and you are gonna have a nasty awakening someday.

Cops aren't here to help me but they are here to disrupt drug dealers. I am all for that.
