Urbana Police Division Crime/Drug Tip Hotline                                             
(937) 652-4357 (HELP)

The Urbana Police Division has established a Crime/Drug Tip Hotline to provide its citizens an opportunity to call and offer leads on criminal investigations, suspected criminal activity, and drug tips.

The Crime/Drug Tip Hotline is a voicemail system, which is accessible 24 hours a day. Callers are encouraged to leave as much information as possible. The caller may choose to leave their contact information so that an investigator can return a call to them, or they may remain anonymous. The Hotline should not be used for in-progress crimes. If you view an in-progress crime please call 911 or (937) 652-4350.  You can also Email our Detectives at PoliceInvestigations@ci.urbana.oh.us
    
Reporting Drug Acitivity:
It is important that you know what an investigation requires and how you can help. It's often hard to be certain what you are seeing involves drugs, but some patterns may indicate drug activity:
  • An unusually large amount of traffic coming to the building - often at strange hours. Visitors may sometimes pound on doors or shout to be let in. This traffic is usually quick with people staying only a short time. Sometimes they don't go in at all; instead, someone comes out to meet them.
  • Finding drugs or drug paraphernalia (syringes, pipes, etc.) in the area.
  • Repeated, observable exchanges of items, especially where money is visible.
  • Offers to sell you drugs, or conversations about drugs that you overhear.
  • Noxious odors from or around the buildings, such as "musty" smells.
  • Buildings where extreme security measures seem to be taken.
  • Buildings where no owner or primary renter is apparent, and no home activities, yard work, painting / maintenance, etc., seem to go on.
  • Many communities have unpopular residents. But obnoxious or peculiar behavior, or a different lifestyle, racial or ethnic background, or economic level doesn't necessarily mean the person is a drug dealer.

Other Important Details to Report:
  • Dates and Times of Activity
  • Location of Activity
  • Nature of Activity
  • Names and Descriptions (if possible) of Those Involved
  • Vehicle Descriptions and License Plate Numbers (if possible)
  • Any Other Relevant Information
