Ann tells us there is a rental house near her home at 81st and Greenwood where she is sure people are selling drugs. She has called the police and been told they should call 911 when they see a drug deal happening, but she says everything happens inside the house so they can’t actually see it. She was hoping someone would have advice on what else she can do. Please comment on this post if you have any advice.
