THE HON. CITY COUNCIL
POLICE DEPARTMENT
NARCOTICS ACTIVITY - CARFAX DRIVE
Recommendation
The City Council receive and file this report.
Background
The Police Department attempted to contact Mr. Brown
many times in order to ~earn the extent of what he feels
to be narcoticS activity in and around his neighborhood
(see attached letter).
It was not until Saturday, ~ctober 7, 1989, that Mr.
Brown returned my telephone calls and supplied me with
his telephone number. I have tried unsuccessfully to
contact him.
o
I have, however, requested the Special Investigations
Section supervisor to continue to attempt to reach Mr.
Brown. I will also request they do some preliminary
investigations of the area to determine if we have any
known narcotics dealers in the.area and take whatever
measures are appropriate. I have also requested that
the Patrol Division be aware of the concerns of Mr.
Brown and take the necessary action to assess the degree
of narcotics activity in and around his complex.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Mr. Brown'
Tus~in City Councilman John Kelly contacted me regarding
the fact you may have some very significant information
concerning illegal activity ~ithin the City of Tustin.
I assure you that Councilman Kelly and I arq vitally
interested in receiving any i~formation you~have that
will assist the Police Department in eradicating crime
within our community.
During my conversation with Councilman Kelly, I
inadvertently copied down your telephone number
incorrectly. I have tried to reach you several times by
telephone; but, obviously, as I have the wrong telephone
number (734-5197), I was unable to reach you.
I apologize for my error and would certainly like to
talk to you at your earliest convenience. Will you
please call me at 544-5424 so we may chat about your
observations of illegal activity within your community?
Thank you very much for y'our courtesy.
