How Can I Report a Possible Drug Situation at My Apartment Complex Without Putting My Safety in Jeopardy?

Published May 26, 2010

I have lived in this aparment complex for about 10 months. Almost every night I smell something very foul- I had just been assuming someone was cooking dinner, and I was extemely thankful I didn’t have to eat it – it smells so NASTY. It smells like someone is cooking on a stove or oven that has never been cleaned, it is a horrid smell. I mentioned it to my Mom recently, and she said it sounds like it’s not food they’re cooking, but crystal meth. She asked her friend, who is a specialist in drug counseling/rehabilitation, and her friend feels strongly that it is crystal meth they are cooking, and is urging me to report it – she says the fumes can be extremely harmful.

But I am afraid for my safety… Is there an anonymous way I can report this? Can I just give the apartment building number rather than my apt number… if they come to my apartment first, everyone will know it was me that reported it.

Thanks for any advice/information!
I don’t have too much of a choice of where I live – Believe me if I could afford it I would live somewhere better… but even in the nicest places there are things like that going on. How am I supposed to know? How is anyone supposed to know?
Marketplight – I see that not only are you narrow-minded, and disrespectful to the many police officers who DO put their lives on the line everyday to protect the communities, but you are also a chauvinist pig whose answers I could never take seriously, and obviously by the ratings of your answer to my question, others cannot either.
To everyone else – Thanks for all the great answers and advice… I am definetely going to report this!
