The St. Tammany Parish Narcotics Unit is one of the finest in the area. In conjunction with the Slidell Police Department, the St. Tammany Narcotics Task Force works to gather information about drug trafficking in the area. St. Tammany Parish is one of the few places in the country that has three separate interstate systems that intersect, which makes it conducive to the transport of various types of narcotics through the region. The efforts and success of the Task Force is enhanced through the assistance of many local, state, and federal enforcement agencies, who work hand in hand to deter narcotic activity. The Task Force utilizes many different preventative measures to prevent crime by talking to children of all ages, as well as adults, regarding the dangers and consequences of drug usage. This task is accomplished through assorted speaking engagements to a variety of groups and organizations in the hopes of further educating the general public on common indications that frequently denote drug activity.

The Narcotics Division has in place a completely anonymous method of reporting information about suspected narcotic activity that may be utilized by citizens who wish their identity not be revealed. Citizens are encouraged to call 1-888-GO-2-JAIL (1-888-462-5245) with any information that they wish to relay in regards to narcotics activity in the parish. Information relayed through this tip line is recorded. This information is then accessed by narcotics agents on a daily basis and acted on accordingly. This technique has proven itself to be extremely effective and allows the citizen reporting the information to remain anonymous. Individuals wishing to speak personally with a narcotics agent can contact the division directly by calling 893-5388.
