Drugs/Narcotics Tip Line Number

A Message From Colonel Stephen J. Lynch And Members Of The Burrillville Police Department:

We need your help to address those that profit from the sale of illegal drugs and by the addiction and possible death of others.

And your help is needed for those that can’t help themselves.

Since December 31, 2014, this community has seen the unfortunate and preventable deaths of 6 individuals -- all due to narcotics overdoses. These deaths have impacted the lives of many Burrillville families.

The Burrillville Police Department is committed to protecting this community in all ways possible, through enforcement, education and treatment.

Enforcement                                       
Tackling this problem requires your support in a variety of ways.  Enforcement efforts are quite often based upon information and cooperation with the police department.  We need your help in attacking this problem.  Any information regarding narcotics sales and trafficking will be kept confidential.  The call you make could save a life and quite possibly the life of a loved one.  The Police department has enacted a Narcotics Tips Line of 401-371-2553.  All calls to the NARCOTICS TIPS LINE will be kept confidential.  

Education
Currently there are 5 active Police Department Members on the Town’s Anti Substance Abuse Task Force, which is co-chaired by Burrillville School Superintendent Dr. Michael Sollitto and myself.  The Task Force is comprised of School Personnel, Police Department members, elected officials, Fire Personnel, and members from throughout the community.  The Task Force has focused its efforts through speaking programs and drug awareness presentations within the schools and look to expand by reaching those that are struggling with addiction within the community.  The Police Department in conjunction with the School Department has also deployed Officer Jason Nault fulltime as the School Resource Officer to assist in guiding our children in all five schools.

Treatement
For those that need help in beating their addiction, we have provided contact numbers to the below listed resources and treatment centers.  Getting clean, and staying clean, saves lives.  

Please help us protect this community. Addiction has killed and will continue to kill in this beautiful and strong town.  However there is nothing beautiful or strong about what has taken away lives at such an alarming rate since December 31st 2014.
