I live in a small town in a mobile home park in Georgia. We have drug dealers who live here and no one seems to care. The drug dealers live very close to me. What can I do to get them out of here. The one drug dealer lives with his girlfriend and she is pregnant and she also has a 14 year old daughter who lives with them. My husband and I are wanting these people gone. My husband went to the police to let them know what was going on and they just did not care. Who do I have to call to turn them in? What do others do when they have drug dealers in their neighboorhood? I am just sick and tired of it. The mobile home park that we live in has really went down since these drug dealers are living here. Drugs are everywhere and I am tired of it. Does anyone care?

Encourage your legislature to legalise all drugs and sell them in pharmacies at very low prices. That will put the drug dealers out of business and allow the government to have a list of all people who have drug problems to whom they can provide counseling and medical services.
As things stand now, the drug dealers are in your trailer park and the people with problems have to steal and prostitute themselves to pay artificially high prices due to the risk the dealers take. In a legalised economy, there is no illegallity risk premium.
I know this doesn't help your immediate situation, but it is the long run solution. I'd think twice about letting too many people know that you've been calling the cops.
Perhaps you might consider moving to a nicer neighborhood even if it meant getting a better job or making some other sacrafice?
Yes, I care.

Start going up the chain of command. They may not seem to care and are not telling you anything because they are gathering intelligence to make a good solid bust. They could have already made half a dozen buys at that place by now and you would never know it. Anyway, go to the on duty supervisor and/or maybe the chief. Also might want to go to the county sheriff as well. Still nothing? There is a little federal govt agency around called DEA that just might be interested.

No they don't care if they did we would stop the drugs at the border. How many times have you heard of the kingpins getting caught? Getting one drug dealer is not the answer stopping the source is the answer. But every since we were in league with the contra's we don't want to win the so call war on drugs. Stop it at the head and it will not come down to your neigbhorhoods.

You have to move. You may be living in a shady police district. Sorry, but no one cares. Well I care. I know how you feel. You can report it to the FBI, but they are pretty busy frying bigger fish. You can get together with the other residents and conspire to run them out if there are only a couple of them. But this will only work if most of the other residents are not on drugs.

I care about your situation. There's only so much you can do, before you give in and move out. I hate to say that, but it's true. Drug dealing isn't a HUGE deal to the cops because if you rid the country of drugs completely, crime would actually increase. I learned that in my Political Science class. I don't use drugs, I don't agree with their existence, and I keep my family away from them. It's a sad situation, but you can really only do so much, and pray that the people dealing choose to stop according to their own free will. Just keep your family safe and move out if you feel threatened, that's what I did.

Join the fight to decriminalize drugs, then sales of drugs would not support dealers; they would have to get real jobs.

sorry to tell you but if you live in a mobile park that is the sort of thing you can expect, move on up or except that you have to live with this.

Push to get the legalized....that will take the criminal element out of drugs.
People are going to do drugs regardless as to the legality of them. Legalizing them will take them out of the criminals hands.
PROHIBITION DOESN'T WORK!!!
Didn't work on alcohol...doesn't work on drugs either.

As an ordinary citizen, report it to the authorities.

"Mobile home park" kind of says it all.
That's what one would expect to find there.
Move up to a better neighborhood.
