What are the typical characteristics of a location that is dealing drugs?
This question is frequently asked, particularly by individuals who suspect they have someone dealing drugs in their neighborhood or community. While there are exceptions to the rule, some signs which might be indicative of a drug dealer's house are:
  • Multiple visitors who stay just a short period of time (heavy traffic in and out)
  • Occupant(s) of residence appear to live outside of their means. Fancy cars and other assets while the individuals are not gainfully employed or have no known legitimate source of income
  • Law enforcement officers may have responded to the location, multiple times in the past, which in and of itself might be indicative of the presence of a criminal element
  • The residence might have the windows obstructed or blacked out to prevent anyone from seeing inside from the exterior of the home
  • Presence of pit bulls or other dogs that are aggressive in nature
  • Unkempt lawn
  • Occupants stay up all hours of the night and appear to sleep during normal business hours
